In the Flight of Stars, Dorothy Roberts's seventh book of poetry
and her first in more than a decade, is -- in her own words -- " a
collection of latter-life poems," the mature work of a firm
intelligence. No sentimentalist, Roberts unflinchingly confronts
the polarities of birth and death, decay and renewal, the gradual
passage of light, the forces of dissolution, the patterns and
requirements of nature. Growing old, she observes the pleasures of
age and the interwoven pattern of loss. Like the best of her
earlier work, In the Flight of Stars demonstrates Roberts's ease
with language, her preference for meter and movement, her interest
in subtle variations of sound and her ability to combine idea and
metaphor. The result is a signifcant collection of verse which is
formal without being austere; muscular yet singularly delicate and
sensuous.
