"To waken is 'to rouse from sleep or from a quiescent or inactive state.' I could just see Melanie Faith writing down such definitions as she penned the poems in To Waken is to Begin, because these poems describe a variety of awakenings. There are children ready to be birthed, weddings, relationships on the cusp of happening -- or not, and there is the poet-- poised to observe before writing it all down. The poet finds beginnings even in the sparest of places. As she writes in "Missing," moments of change are the same "as if a bone breaks . . . a split/ and mend, seemingly / not only tender/ but stronger, we say, / for the fissure." - Jessie Carty - An Amateur Marriage (Finishing Line Press, 2012)
