Description

The poems in "Light in the Dark Pool" probe the mystery, disorientation, frustration, pain, disappointment, struggle, shock and joy of human relationships. Human language is fragile: speech can distort thought, and analysis and writing can counteract the very clarity they seek. Relationships multiply the risk of error as we strive--or don't--to interpret another's words, to understand her or his radically different position. As we navigate the pitfalls and often doomed pathways of communication, we wonder if the effort is worth it, if the attempt to understand brings more sadness and isolation than not trying to understand, and if the passage of time brings more cause for wariness than for healing. Is it better to retreat into a rigid fortress? Is is better to choose silence? The stakes are high: expanding ourselves to see through others' eyes means entering foreign territory. Yet the purpose of poetry is to illuminate the rare and blazing jewels of life: the unexpected moments of profound, intimate and honest connection with others, when the fear of vulnerability and the instinct for self-protection become irrelevant. We are fully ourselves, past, present and future, while we also fully engage with another person.
