Synopsis
At home with traditional forms and free verse patterns, Diane Thiel composes highly charged, evocative poems that celebrate and elucidate voyaging-in our own hearts and minds, to other lands, back and forth in time-the natural world, science, and her family's German heritage.
Diane Thiel's poetry has appeared in The Best American Poetry 1999, The Hudson Review, Poetry, among others. She is the author of two chapbooks, Cleft in the Wall and The Minefield, both out from Aralia Press. She has an MFA from Brown University, and she teaches at the University of Miami.

Reviews
Winner of the 13th Annual Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize, this work is laced with memories of Thiel's German heritage, often alluding matter-of-factly to a shameful historic past. Her poems address the guilt of a nations and people who bear a violent history. "It will take many lifetimes/ to reclaim this language of my childhood," she says in "Traume" after listing the names of villages whose names are equated with concentration camps. Thiel disperses the silence of those who were the oppressors and takes responsibility for the wrongs into the present. Miraculously, the poems do not plunge into utter despair. In fact, it is re-hearing that brings redemption: "Our languages returning to the sounds / The calls reverberating through the waters/ to navigate the depths, to guide us through/ one ocean to another, the dark indigos,/ the song returning from the deepest blues." Recommended for general collections.DAnn K. van Buren, Riverdale Country Sch., New York
