Description
Winner of the 2009 Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Prize "e;There are poems which carry us clean away, transporting us into worlds as specific as the pink purse the author of Visible Heavens helps a little boy buy for his teacher, Miss Stone. Melancholy and loss, the missing of a gone mother, passion and solitude-stirringly well mixed in one potent brew of a book. Readers will feel at home here, but they'll also feel ignited with new presences, keenly visible and invisible perceptions-'It is a gift, this light we carry in our lungs.... ' Cheers to Joanna Solfrian for a fine first book, the stunning deep breath of her voice."e; -Naomi Shihab Nye, judge
