The strictness of the form is never obtrusive-it just does its jobto give a frame, a tension, something for the powerful emotion to work off of or against, thus increasing its powerful sentimentBy writing this bookTeresa Carson has rescued her family and her brother. That a book of poems can do this is a miracle. -Thomas Lux These poemsconvey with beauty and power the emotions that pour from loss, love, trauma, reconciliation and healing. It is difficult in an academic article or a clinical process to capture the full measure of what it is we seek to heal. But in these powerful poemsone can connect to a fragment of the pain, and hope, of Teresa Carson. Her words can teach. Teresa Carson is wise. She shares her wisdom in this remarkable book. -Bruce D.
