A stunning collection, a return to the New York City of yesterday, as Morse's poems take the reader by the hand and guide them back to a place that is timeless, where heartbreak and longing for a simpler time awaits. Turn after turn grips us, and we don't want to let go, from the very start where Dawn fills the sky with a tide of light. / Today brims with wild hope and fear and ending with the unexpected, The coffee is black, as always, / way before long COVID / trapped you up in the Bronx.
-Jennifer Juneau, author of More Than Moon (Is A Rose Press)
In a collection, aptly titled, Unreasonable Weather, Morse must keep rezoning her life stuck between things leaving her and things she's leaving. It is a tribute to the poet's skill that she maintains that focal point, without getting stuck there. From being let go at a long-held job to no longer recognizing the Manhattan streets she's walked on her whole life, she's become a person she doesn't even know anymore. Worst of all is the loss of her son. She'd give anything for his return, even as a dream. She finds a way, here, in this collection dedicated to him, how to survive this loss. And surviving is what this collection is really about: whether it's old nuclear war fears morphed into the current war in Ukraine, or surviving a late bout with COVID. Some things are better lost, she concludes. With that, her Young girl's journey is over and ours
just begun, with Unreasonable Weather to read.
-Linda Lerner, author of Taking the F train (NYQ books)
