Sometimes the weight rises and the telling wells up to be heard. These poems tell those stories.
Lamplight is both opening and closing. Like any journey-woman on a quest to understand grief, Cathy Cain finds not truth so much as renewal. These poems are like compact, inescapable dreams, bruised with switchbacks that 'shift / over the edge, ' where misery becomes a glow, a shine, and, finally, a blaze of love.
-David Biespiel, author of Republic Café
Cathy Cain's Lamplight explores what lights the darkest nights and how dark those nights can be. She writes to wear down in poem the pointed pain. We find sparkling songs and savage blues, lamplight and dark. Her poems come home to gratitude in a morning walk, the smell of forgiveness in clean laundry. She invites the sky in at dawn.
-Tricia Knoll, author of Wild Apples and The Unknown Daughter
Cathy Cain's poems move through lamplit rooms and find everything we've left there, everything we've hidden. The poems in Lamplight bring the world out of silhouette and into the lived-in body. They help us see the treachery and loveliness living within us, and show us where to go.
-Jules Ohman, author of Body Grammar
