From the arresting title to the powerful poem “Postcards from the Afterlife,” Mary Ellen Geer‘s second collection of poems bespeaks surface calm and beneath, a passionate fear about the future of the individual and the world. Strong images prevail. . . . Geer’s poetry offers solace sharpened by the awareness of transience. . . . Written with great skill (note the shapes of these poems), Geer’s book reminds us that grace is here in this life, and grace and longing might be there in the next as well.
–Suzanne E. Berger, author of These Rooms, Legacies, Horizontal Woman
The precision restlessness of Geer’s poems–all luminous sound and gesture–and their perceptions of lonely loveliness in the half-seen and yearned-toward, will make these poems get under your skin.
–Daisy Fried, author of Women’s Poetry and My Brother Is Getting Arrested Again
