We belong to each other even in the worst day, Helga Kidder writes in her fourth collection of poems, Loving the Dead. That belonging encompasses the arcing heavens, the bruised moon, the trilling Earth, the sometimes prideful tug of our closest relations. Growing up in Germany's Black Forest, Kidder brings luck in [my] luggage to a new continent, with new eyes and hopes, to remind us, You must turn on your own light. And she does, honoring both her sister's life and packing us for the luminous journey into memory's beam and vapor.
