In Cheryl Baldi's The Shapelessness of Water, all of the elements shift and shine. As the shore meets the sea, the speaker's finely tuned lyrical voice pierces through mourning with a revelatory poetry of deep wisdom, and rare emotional reach. Baldi vividly paints the world we recognize-of human connection, sensual pleasure, and activity-while also deftly guiding us to face that shadow world of undertow and beyond in this cathartic new collection.
Ethel Rackin
"So it is with beauty, its refusal / to conceal," writes Cheryl Baldi in these beautiful poems, revealing the heart and scope of a family through several generations with quiet restraint, precise language and radiant intensity of feeling. Baldi's distinctive vision draws its strength in part from her profound and unwavering attention to her kin, portrayed here in their full humanity, as well as to the seaside landscape that has both echoed and accompanied the family through their hardships and rejoicings, that "endless / sweep of blue sky, endless sea // beneath which swells / life unknown and dangerous, / and thriving."
