Anne Sandor's At The Redemption Center invites us into the quiet reckonings of everyday life-where grace waits in grocery aisles, salvation hides in sidewalks, and memory redeems even our most fractured selves. Sandor reminds us that poetry is not just a mirror, but a lantern: illuminating the overlooked, the discarded, the sacred. These poems shimmer with hard-earned beauty and a truth that lingers like the light just before dusk.
-Richard Blanco, 2013 Presidential Inaugural Poet, author, Homeland of My Body
William Carlos Williams said, If it ain't a pleasure it ain't a poem. There are 34 pleasures to savor in At the Redemption Center by Anne Sandor, beginning with this one:
At the Redemption Center
At the redemption center
you bring the empty vessels,
the washed, the unwashed,
and sort them by kind.
Though all yield the same return,
the clean and the foul,
each rendered by what can be
burned or saved, purified or extracted,
you hope with each offering
for the redemption of us all.
Read this funny, serious, wise and wonderful book slowly, one pleasure at a time, while looking forward to the next collection of poetical pleasures by Ms. Sandor.
-J.R. Solonche, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award nominee
