The Familiar by Kim Farrar

$12.00

 

Kim Farrar writes: “I like the polar caps/that hold the cracked/egg of earth,” an image which contains so much of what she loves, needs, despairs of losing, does lose, then regains again through the bringing into existence of these poems. The work of her poems is first of all to honor loss and the grief which accompanies it. But something else happens as a result of this: the reader begins to see the fierce love that is at the heart of this grief. “Changing the foreign/back into the familiar,” is indeed the work of this book: and a beautiful work it is.

–Jim Moore
