Michael Palma, poet and translator of Dante's Inferno
-"The human condition spares no one." I think we all know this, but in Unburial, Marc Alan Di Martino movingly embodies the many ways in which it is true. The poems trace a family tale that is unique, yet very American: transatlantic navigations, divorces, remarriages, stepfamilies; divagations from the "round geodes, spiky quartz and silky slate" of the earth we stand on to "Star tissue... black holes that] devour their young." Unsparingly, these poems examine dark matter of all sorts, but one finds in the poet's quest to "unbury" (the languages, the losses, the loves of his origins) the ability to grab on to the horns of a luminescent moon ("Copper-crowned / night, twilit and electric blue") and steer us, at least temporarily, away from despair. This is a beautifully structured and resonant debut.
