Inhaltsangabe

Roz Spafford's book of poems is true to its title. All the poems in Requiem may be read as attempts to confront the presence of death in our lives, to engage the subject directly without melodrama and without evasion. What is remarkable about this steady focus, which offers no easy consolations, is that it leads to a book that is more challenging than it is querulous or elegiac. As the poems acknowledge the fragility of what we love, they exhibit a countervailing creative energy that expresses itself through forceful definition, a wide range of reference, and a rhythmic line that suggests a speaker who is deeply engaged in telling the truth. The result is a book that confronts our limitations in a way that makes us feel larger rather than diminished.
Carl Dennis
