My first read of these poems is that they describe the unsettling feeling that just precedes a moment of great transition. There is a feeling of incipience, of winter cold, where spring may, yes, bring new life but also reveals what was hidden under the snow. “Snow” is a word often repeated, as well as: storm, winter, blade, bird, crow, water, lake, river, boat, bridge, gray, stone, scrape, love. These poems are breathtaking.
