Description

In the graceful poetry of Sally Woolf-Wade we return to a real communication with the natural world, both within and without. Her careful lines and unforced perceptions are a delight ? and when she describes a tidepool (or anything else), we know that tidepool has been truly seen!?Kate BarnesPoet Laureate, MaineSally Woolf-Wade is a traveler who takes us inward as we venture outward. In Nightsong she offers tender portraits of clamdiggers, coastal fishermen, the earnest teacher, the sister ships of Wiscasset, women of Varanasi, the lost son, and her mother whose life she reconstructs. Coastal fogs, tidepools, snow in spruce, the ghats of the Ganges; these haunt and comfort her.Observant, lyrical, graceful in her use of open and closed forms, she speaks to us across the dark. We hear her messages over the radio waves, in prayers knitted into an unfinished sweater, in the tenacious silk of spiderwebs. She emerges from the spruce forest of the Pemaquid Trail into the brilliant light of the shore. A splendid collection.?Judith W. SteinberghAuthor of Writing My Will.The poetry of Sally Woolf-Wade pulsates with honesty and alertness. The changeable sea that appears often in her work is an apt metaphor for the poems as they touch upon tranquility and fervor, beauty and grief, solitude and empathy. She is a poet whose praise of the physical world is, at once, patient and cat-quick.?Baron WormserMaine Poet LaureateThese poems are local and American as a list on the kitchen table; like the loaf of homemade bread there, they have a substantial crust and a firm texture, kneaded to the rhythms of life, of the sea nearby.?David KellerAuthor of Trouble in History
