From Library Journal
Campbell's poems are suffused with light, and not just the incidence of light itself, or of incandescent language, but light in all its connotations: spiritual striving; perceptiveness; the desire to attain joy, to get free of the world--"the flesh is hardest to remove"; the radiance of angels. Though religious symbolism figures largely in these poems, Campbell's concerns are not strictly religious; instead, she aims to show that transcendence is implicated in everyday life: "My lover saw nothing but a woman doing woman's work for/ him./ When I lifted the stone . . ./ He could not see the burning foot of Raphael/ Light on it." The transcendence won't hold--faced with life after death, Campbell discovers, instead of the "feverish and splendid inactivity" she had expected, angels eating cornflakes--but readers who try these poems may touch it briefly. An exceptional beginning for the 1988 winner of the Barnard New Poets Prize.
