Dorianne Laux's poetry is a poetry of risk; it goes to the very
edge of extinction to find the hard facts that need to be sung.
What We Carry includes poems of survival, poems of healing, poems
of affirmation and poems of celebration. Sculptured, fluid and
generous, they reveal a poet whose vision is informed by experience
and caring. Of her poetry and poetic odyssey, critic William O'Daly
writes: "It seems that Ms. Laux has chosen to witness what she must
on her journey, in some way reliving and weaving together who she
was and who she is to fully reclaim her body and soul ... The poems
seem to have been well prepared for, born of years of hard work,
careful listening, patience, until all the notes rang true". That
attention to precision of image, language and sound, that pursuit
of honesty and love is What We Carry - our lives, worth having, and
worth transforming.
