An original collection of poems by Luray Gross. Luray Gross' Lift represents the work of an accomplished poet at the height of her powers. Assured and lyrical, with no word wasted, Gross' poems are precisely observed while containing multitudes. On subjects that range from childhood, adulthood, and family life to religious faith, war, and social justice, the stories Gross tells are united in their power to move us toward a new recognition of our shared humanity. Gross assures us, 'Language will not abandon us/ will say what needs to be said, enough/ to make the world a burden we can bear.' Thankfully, we have this graceful poet to lift us out of complacency and despair and to elevate our understanding. --Ethel Rackin, author of Evening
