WINNER OF THE 2012 BLUE LIGHT BOOK AWARD June Rachuy Brindel, beloved author of Ariadne and Phaedra, was a prolific poet. She collaborated on songs with her husband, composer Bernard Brindel. She had numerous poems published in literary magazines, and this is her first full-length collection of poems. The wise woman voice of her novels sings on every page. Superb artistry, intellectual and emotional depth, and human compassion. She has been a mentor and an inspiration to all of us through both her work and through her unique and generous spirit. -Lynn Shapiro Fiction Writing Faculty, Columbia College, Chicago June Rachuy Brindel has the eye and voice of a true poet. Her poems are lyrical as she takes notice of life's various situations and guides us through the mysterious unseen that is difficult to name and deal with. Her poems lead the way to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the life and lives around us. Reading her poems I have learned, laughed, and loved the language, the images, the quiet moment of knowing when the unseen is revealed. -Fran Podulka Associate Editor of Rhino, The Poetry Forum 1998-2008 June Rachuy Brindel lays bare the bittersweetness of love, and the exquisite pain of injustice in poems that range from the pastoral to the political. In The Road to Selma, she invokes the ghosts of the Civil Rights movement, with a fierceness and outrage and hope that exemplifies the era. -J. Scott Smith Musician and Writer We have here no minor versifier, but rather, a writer calling for serious scrutiny and interpretation. Everything in this collection is worth your attention . . . it is clear that June found her distinctive voice early on and remained true to it over the decades. Like Donne, Dickinson, Heine, Whitman, Housman, Hopkins, or Pushkin, hers is a voice that cuts through the years. -Wilbur Zelinsky Professor Emeritus, Pennsylvania State University
