Synopsis
Day of Clean Brightness reminds us of all of our many commonalities—the true complexity within our relationships with our parents and children, the deeply felt love and grief after loss, suffering and the unforgiving nature of disease. Life is lived in “the body/with its humors, intimate oils, the skin's/wavering—bits of inessential/growth in delicate folds.” How do we nurture bonds despite physical distance and the distance of time? For the author, it begins internally and manifests in poem after poem. She imagines the maternal grandmother she has never met going “out into the night, midwife...striding with a purpose,” addresses the friend who is rumored to have died, “my colleague of cellos,/ stand partner, fellow cat lover, griever of mothers, mother/of daughters.” When helpless before her mother's pain, she “clasp[s] hands, send[s] love/down [her] arm.” Day of Clean Brightness is an act of will “to honor those we love because that's all we have left.”
