These Moments of Arrest (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781999246334)

"Magic as a verb? The singer magicked the song into revelation; the artist magicked her painting into an act of healing. That's the best word I can come up with for Sheila Rosen's poems: She's magicked everyday earthy things-a granddaughter dancing, a saxophone playing, a busker busking-into arresting moments of staggering beauty. Each of these poems does what her title promises: arrests us, stops us in our tracks, grabs our whole attention, and says, Behold!

This is why poetry is one of the best ways to both rediscover and re-enchant the world, and Sheila Rosen is one of its finest practitioners. Pure magic."
