Description

"ACROSS THE DARK draws the reader into a light that reflects family and the larger world. These imaginative poems resonate with experiment: a gutsy presence that illuminates the modern psyche: '...he paints The Last Supper/ on the shell of an almond-/ each disciple's body a betrayal.' The betrayals in this voice are believable and curative, and backlit with human warmth." -Yusef Komunyakaa. "Alternating between the lyric compression of a Louise Gluck ('making a likeness of particulars'), and the street-smart iambic narratives of a Philip Levine, with her senses open and her voice alternately open and defended, Pam Bernard's emotionally controlled yet open poems are edgy and authentic. In her quest for origins, she looks unflinchingly at absent mothering, immersing herself in memory with both compassion and a hunger to move beyond the past. This journey survives 'the kingdom of ice,' moving through difficulty to a generous and tough-minded love of that sensuous sliver of the world she's been given and in turn gives us. I found ACROSS THE DARK a very moving book." -Ira Sadoff.
