Barbara Helfgott Hyett’s new collection considers, from close and afar, the elemental forces coming to bear on human character in our time. The title poem spills across the face of history—9/11, Hiroshima, the harrowing geological formation of earth, the sudden appearance of cave art, and ultimately, the uncertainty of God.
Barbara Helfgott Hyett
While we ache for the loss in these poems, Helfgott Hyett risks such honest grief that redemption comes, free standing and moral,
on its own.
