Deep Light
Deep Light is not
a poetry collection, if collection implies a mere gathering of
similar objects. Nor is it a chronological compilation
of work from the author’s previous books. The poems in Deep
Light have been selected and arranged to create a continuous, unified
text. Like McClanahan’s description of gray doves “tipping
across the gravel/ their shadows pumping before them,” the
poems move forward in an alternating dance of light and shade.
In the brightest places of our world, suggests this poet, grief
and loss cast their shadows. But even in the darkest places, light
makes its way.
