The name of the title poem--"Brother Salvage: a "genizah,""
provides a skeleton key to unlock the powerful forces that bind
Rick Hilles's collection. A "genizah" is a depository, or hiding
place, for sacred texts. It performs a double function: to keep
hallowed objects safe and to prevent more destructive forces from
circulating and causing further harm. Brother Salvage serves
exactly this purpose. The poems are heartrending and incisive,
preserving stories and lives that should not be forgotten. Yet,
through the poet's eloquent craft, painful histories and images are
beautifully and luminously contained. Like scholars sifting through
ancient "genizahs" in search of spiritual and historical insights,
readers immersed in Brother Salvage will find, at the heart of the
book, the most sacred entity: hope.
