Publisher's Synopsis
The poems in "Light in the Dark Pool" probe the shifting furrows of consciousness in the aftermath of betrayal. As we navigate doomed pathways of communication, we wonder if the effort is worth it, if the attempt to understand brings more sadness and isolation than not trying to understand, and if the passage of time brings more cause for wariness than for healing. Is it better to retreat into a rigid fortress? Is is better to choose silence? Poetry balances on the high wire of that temptation.
