The Marriage of the Moon and the Field

Sunni Brown Wilkinson

These are "poems that range through the world: Vienna, Juarez, Andalusia, Mozambique, Venice.... There are poems of family (parents, children, grandparents), our primal world, and there are poems of immigrants, asylum seekers, the displaced. And weaving through all of them there is a sweet charity, a belief in grace, and a tenderness toward existence. There is as well a recognition that tragedy and loss make up a part of our lives, but in Wilkinson's vision these can be redeemed since 'we're verses with a space in between/ for our own small hallelujah.' These are poems that 'you can ride... into tomorrow.' Sunni Wilkinson is a welcome new poet for our times. - Joseph Stroud
