Night Crossing

The author deals with dawn and dusk, day and night, land and sea. Many poems in this volume concern the death of her husband, but the volume itself celebrates life by work of vibrant transformation. It is a close weave of love-lyric, confession, lament, myth and counter-myth. Many voices, male and female, are heard. It is conceived as a tumultuous whole, and ends on a tender, almost inaudible note, as if on a ripple going out to sea.
