In 1997 I co-founded Zeugma, an online poetry workshop of which Sharon Rose-Kourous was an early member. Later, as managing editor of The Melic Review, I published several of the poems herein. I was thus delighted and honored when Sharon asked me to review this collection. I am, as ever, astonished at Sharon's vividly intricate metaphors and effortless mastery of prosody. Her polished devices of form and play of language are apparent on every page. Among other favorites, After-life and Leaving shine out, as well as My Father Was a Carpenter, and the piercing elegy Of Spring. Here are heart-deep metaphors so vivid in their immediacy that one cannot come away from reading and expect the world to look the same. These are the poems of a maturity tempered into wisdom; a wrestled acceptance that the yearning to know always ends in never knowing. I look forward eagerly to Sharon's forthcoming collection.
