From arcing fireworks to a bat in the belly of a church organ, Emily Kerlin's poems explore the expansive
territory of farewell. Each poem enshrouds the reader in a mystery of loss, some minuscule, others astronomical, coaxing them toward revelation. And in what striking forms these revelations manifest: a boy lost forever as Mice scuttle in the hay, / brittle leaves scratch/ in the autumn chill; a husband struggling with the constant problem/ of breath; a plague and its wake of crocuses pushing purple into this cold March morning. Kerlin's poetry compels you to lean in a little closer, to listen and look with more intention, then rewards you with a spill of starlight and the fragile lace of the human lung.
