In America many elderly people are made invisible, but the poems in D. Walsh Gilbert's collection bring one such individual vividly into focus. In poems such as Mary's Disorderly Conduct, Mary Opens the Window, and Mary Faces Firebrand and Ember, we see Mary as vulnerable, stubborn, vivacious-uniquely herself. In Mary Receives Treatment, she refuses to look at her wound or at the doctor. Not-looking is an absence / which has held her together before. But the poet looks, and sees, and gives us insight into a woman who once lived an independent, exciting life in New York City, but now must find her way toward acceptance of a life lived, as one poem suggests, in little rooms.
