Peter Campion is the author of three collections of poetry and also Radical as Reality: Form and Freedom in American Poetry
In this lovely collection, Dianne Ashley invites us to stop with her and explore the bridge of life, which is finite. Terrible, but also breathtaking; where There is more to know than time to learn and Every road has a fork and an end. The poems range from the mystery-maze of poignant childhood memories through the wonders she finds in nature to the devastations of politics and extinction-where she proposes a Tomb of the Unknown Migrant. In a lyrical voice, Ashley conveys the human condition as she looks towards death and prays to be transformed into a new wild biology. These are poems to stop and savor: Enjoy!
Chuck Madansky is the author of the poetry collection Some Days the Spoons Talk Back
Oil spills, children at play, paeans to marsh life and marsh stinks, the astonishments of the natural world, bearing witness in East Jerusalem, bearing witness to the death of a loved one from COVID, the pleasures and loneliness of human relation. Dianne Ashley moves lithely from the playful to the elegiac to the worried, weary and full of wonder. This book is a love letter to places (Cape Cod, Wisconsin, more), to family, to a world both lovely and broken, and to being able to live a life of which one can say, as Ashley writes, this joy was enough.
