Angles of Departure

Описание:

Marcene Gandolfo's poems find many angles on, and many departures from, loss into presence, memory and experience into a shapely art. The formal mixture of emotion and restraint in Ms. Gandolfo's writing is a tip-off that this is the genuine article. Her poetry gives definitive shape to memory, loss and compassion, and carries that adult gravity that continues inside a reader. 'When the music comes back, / it wakes you,' writes the poet, and 'The face that was tomorrow becomes today.' And so it is, in these moving, thoughtful, wide awake poems. - Marvin Bell ANGLES OF DEPARTURE is an elegy written with great reverence and beauty. The poet navigates a ghost route between absence and presence, as she articulates what can't quite be touched with human hands, reached by a human body, or consciousness. - Sandra Alcosser It is an honor to accompany this remarkable first book of Marcene Gandolfo's poems into the world-poems that find redemption through what they have been given-life, death, grief, memory, devotion; crossing the risky borders between complexities, her poems explore what Calvino called 'the conflict between the world's choices and man's obsession with making sense of them.' ANGLES OF DEPARTURE is a masterful collection full of choices, full of obsessions, and full of sense-a whopper of a first book. - Susan Kelly-DeWitt
