Summary
Poetry. The intensely lyrical poems in Deborah Woodard's first full-length collection collapse the usual boundaries between dream and so-called reality to explore varieties of loss and the resonance of myth, classical as well as personal. Sure-footed, precise, and gorgeously intelligent, they are both solace and cause for celebration.
