Poets Diving in the Night by Nancy Dafoe
$14.99
Dafoe explores the dark territories of loss, grief, and history with language as her light. A muscular lexicon and narratives that burst open with lyricism reclaim insight from chaos and reward readers with pearl-poems of wisdom and connection.
–Gwynn O’Gara, Author of Snake Woman Poems, Fixer-Upper and Winter at Green Haven, Poet Laureate of Sonoma County, CA 2010-2011.
In Poets Diving in the Night, Nancy A. Dafoe asks, “What is this language of water, of lakes, seas, rivers, streams?” Her collection of sinuous, glistening poems follows the course of this life-giving element–from the translucent shallows to the murky, subterranean deeps–and is a heartfelt paean to those writers, artists, and philosophers who have dared to delve “beneath/ water’s surface.” Dafoe reminds us what is essential, what nurtures and sustains us.
–Jo Pitkin
