Clara Maslow, now age 91, is author of a memoir, The Tapestry of
Our Lives Torn With Fear, of her husband as victim of the McCarthy
witch hunt of the early 1950's, and its traumatic effect on their
lives, the lives of their children, and granddaughter. This is her
second book, a collection of poems to eulogize, to remember her
love of sixty years; A remarkable man, a man unparalleled as a
human being. These poems express spiritedly the pain of loss and
longing, and the grief of life and love.
A natural poet, a poet of nature. a poet who thinks with her
poems her thoughts lie in the language of poetry. She speaks with
strong visual images and stark metaphors. The poems express
strongly. sensuously the pain of loss, the loneliness of existence
and on to the story of love. Poems that often glide into prose with
the passion and intensity that drives it in language that is
uniformly solemn and tender. Grief plays a large part in this work
with poems that speak softly, strongly and tenderly to the lover
that has been taken away.
"There is an echo yet, I can hear it still
of his soft voice,
His caressing voice like a summer breeze
Like the flight of moths in the moonlight
Like the warmth of his breast at night
Like the softness of his lips in the morning
But, who can say, there is only silence now
Only the gentle breeze in the hollows echoing
And the shiny memory of his stately person."
(Loving Bern)
This is a tightly focused collection of poems of yearning, and
grief, that penetrate the depth of human gaze, the only place that
poetry can enter.
