Description

Poetry. "Lodged in various locales, whether urban or rural, earthbound or on the open sea, answering a landscape, a family memory, or the vagaries of love, the poems of CAUSEWAY are always informed by an honest buoyancy of spirit that can mix 'the scent of lilacs' with 'smokers' coughs, ' as imagination testifies to the hard-won realization that 'Even in these / toxic times, we live, we thrive.'"--Eamon Grennan. "Again and again the poet attempts to reconcile herself to 'the everyday obscene, ' always 'searching for home / in a thrift shop find, something a mother, / not yours or mine, left behind.' CAUSEWAY celebrates the probability of such human connection in poems taut and insistent and resonant with desire. When Sexton writes, speaking for us all, '[T]he ones / who love me love me, god knows why, ' we know she's not quite joking"--Michael Wate
