In The Ancient Ways, Jeff Bernstein takes us down paths of memory with language rich in detail. This is a poet who travels a long road, always noticing, always questioning. We willingly follow him. Certainty is gone, and he asks what can we depend on? Natural beauty, the love of human and four-legged members of the family alike. In My Father Meets My Old Brown Labrador in the Elysian Fields, he speaks across species to an especially beloved dog: Isabelle sweet Isabelle / please don't leave his side / as he surveys meadow & birches / the vast unbroken expanse of winter... The poet carries the bittersweet with grace and thus us along with him.
-Cecele Kraus, author of Harmonica
