The domestic facts of life are fashioned into searching meditations
by Rachel Hadas in A Son From Sleep, a book about wakings. The poet
is admonished by her dreams and summoned from her slumbers. Hadas's
acute observation of ordinary things illuminates and expands them.
She listens while a child "plaits her fledgling macrame / of
consonants and vowels." She learns "several kinds of silence." She
resolves to "uncover language / as medium of nothing except
mysteries," and for Hadas, mysteries take root in tangible
things--in cats, blankets, subways, her husband, and especially, in
motherhood.
