Aging, 1940s Brooklyn, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict haunt these elegiac, passionate poems. Soulfully introspective and viscerally engaged, Marshall's poetry weds timely depictions of Middle Eastern widows behind veils heavy / as the steel / veil of empire with timeless expressions of personal grief and political outrage. Invoking visionary possibilities of being while riding unsteadily on the rails / of rhyme, Marshall's distinctive voice and elegant lyrics unite this muscled, multilayered collection.
