In this quiet, clear-eyed collection, Townsend meditates on loss-childhood bereavement, depression, divorce-to arrive at the realization that it is through loss that we come to possess some of life’s most profound gifts.
The project of Alison Townsend’s poetry is to chart a course through the deepest of losses-to attempt some safe passage through a lifetime’s erasures. Intimate, warm and observant, this book involves us in the inscription of a life. -Mark Doty
