About this title

Synopsis

How does one reconcile competing emotions, such as the intense love and concurrent claustrophobia that one can feel toward one's family, or the longing and simultaneous indifference engendered by thinking about the afterlife, or the sweet and haunting memories of childhood? In probing such elusive spaces, Lisa Orme Bickmore finds that she is gazing on figures that align and collapse and then realign. She experiences flashes of insight that bridge the past to the future, that link mortality to immortality. Meditative, at the same time sensual, Bickmore's verses are like dreams. She is as much apart from life as she is attuned to it, which is among the burdens that the best poets seem to possess and share.
