Among the things I love about Thayer Cory's poems in Carried-her gifted ear for the music of language, her exquisite eye for imagery, and her spare, lucid style-is how she leans into all the qualities of spirit that defy despair, yet without delusions about the dark forces gnawing at the edges of life. The titular poem perfectly reveals this theme. Past the ocean breakers, in spell-binding vastness, the poet, as a child, clings to her brother's neck and writes, We were anchored where we were. Anchored not on solid ground-a nursing home where the brother is now old, wheelchair-bound, and unable to manage his daily routines without help-but where blue meets blue, the spiritual realities that offer joy and freedom. In poem after poem, Cory invites us to look again! in nature and human relationships for the insights that sustain and enrich us in our earthly sojourn.
