Review:
Sandra Dorr asks, What is it I am afraid to lose?... This book delivers moments of attention at the point of blessing, and of loss, In my palm the tremor of a wren, disappearing. With the focus of flame, she illuminates what we love, in her seeing, as it opens, closes, is, and is not. --Kim Stafford, author of The Muses Among Us and Other Pleasures of the Writer's Craft
These poems reiterate world its animal weight, it's succulence, its liveness. Dorr knows that only by way of the multitudinous, minute particulars may we enter the Oneness. We have come to the great/mystery, she writes, always emptying, always there. This book lifts, it has heft, and song, song that feeds us. --Marilyn Krysl, author of Swearing The Burning Vow: Selected and New Poems, 2009
