Oblige the Light

Winner of CityLit Press's fifth annual Harriss Poetry Prize, Oblige the Light takes readers to "a magical space." From the introduction by judge Michael Salcman: "Astonishing metaphors and precise description of natural forces and historical events results in an atmospheric Magical Realism that borders on the Surrealistic. There is an emotional reserve that is almost gnomic so that life's most important subjects-the death of a parent, political oppression, one's aesthetic response to art and nature-can be discussed without forced sentimentality. The poems are the work of a profoundly serious temperament and a professional translator of world into word."
