In Rebecca Brock's chapbook, Each Bearing Out, children ask questions of time that none of us can answer. Here, the poet articulates every mother's fear: what will be lost in my hands, what will refuse to be carried? The love we harbor often moves us from one night to the next, one feeding to another. In the chaos of ever-turning days, Brock extends herself and those in arm's reach grace, remembering I was learning/ there were terrible things/ to find a way to live with. The tenderness herein, woven from dailiness, shows us that no moment should be taken for granted; given time, we should use it to share what might save another. Joy is threaded herein in yellow ensembles, sign language, love of dogs and tigers, children made well. More than anything, these poems remind us, we are all trying to hold ourselves together, and in a certain light, we are worthy, illumined, fixed.
