In this, her debut collection, Millicent Ally sets out to interpret
her wide and sometimes painful experience of "this earthly
animation . . . in the four sections she] categorize s] as 'Life, '
'Love, ' 'Introspection, ' and 'God'." A Los Angeles native who was
reared in Georgia, Ally shares, in the fourteen poems that comprise
each of the four sections of her book, intimate details of betrayal
and triumph: love gone almost right--and love gone inexplicably
wrong; faith--and the crisis of its utter lack; the loving light of
family--and the dark shadow it can cast. Reading, we find ourselves
understanding loneliness, friendship, isolation, and despair until,
ultimately, Ally brings us to the truth of the spirit that allows
her to transcend all the pain of her deep humanity. "Spirit is the
cradle from which we are born," she writes, and, having lived, ." .
. we yield to the paradoxical Omega to which we must return." For
Ally, all that occurs in between birth and death occurs solely for
our deepest learning, nothing more--nor less--than "experiences
which help us to gather information for our souls' collective
evolution." For her reader, there is comfort to be found in Ally's
conclusion.
