These poems are animated by a deep rectitude, 'the convection that struggle is praise,' and a fiery determination to wrest a gleaming light - a saving remembrance - from the engulfing shadows. - Edward Hirsch ""In this brilliant book of linked poems, dualities are described and suffered as 'the soul of the poet mediates the transactions of our life on this earth' while 'caught in the disorienting whirls in which order can be glimpsed.'"" - Hilda Raz, Editor-in-Chief, Prairie Schooner ""In Mike Lieberman's Remnant we encounter two memories: one that's emotional and straightforward, even passionate, almost sentimental - and another one, oblique and sober, the memory of a scientist, a skeptic who believes in research more than affection. The combination is fascinating and rare."" - Adam Zagajewski
