Between the Twilight and the Sky

Jennie Neighbors

Jennie Neighbors’s new book BETWEEN THE TWILIGHT AND THE SKY is a brilliant, engaging adventure for the reader. Great poems in three Cantos wherein we are brought into “the direction the poem must travel” and find “the anomalous you must meet to become.” Hers is a “music that winds.” —ROBIN BLASER

Child in the Road

Cindy Savett

Child in the Road is a mother’s response to the sudden death of her young daughter, a rendering of the wide range of emotions experienced afterwards–not description, but an expression of grief from its center. The poems pull vivid imagery from the deepest layers of the unconscious, postcards from a sleepwalker unable to find rest, waking again and again in the wrong story. Who is alive and who is dead? What does it mean to go on living, “eyes searching / under the earth”?
