.,."in these poems, (there is) a family of 12 with the mother,
father, and speaker as the prime characters....In a brilliant crown
of sonnets, its most important character, the speaker's brother,
who died a suicide, by drowning, fully emerges. The strictness of
the form is never obtrusive--it just does its job...to give a
frame, a tension, something for the powerful emotion to work off of
or against, thus increasing its powerful sentiment...By writing
this book...Teresa Carson has rescued her family and her brother.
That a book of poems can do this is a miracle." --Thomas Lux
"These poems...convey with beauty and power the emotions that pour
from loss, love, trauma, reconciliation and healing. It is
difficult in an academic article or a clinical process to capture
the full measure of what it is we seek to heal. But in these
powerful poems...one can connect to a fragment of the pain, and
hope, of Teresa Carson. Her words can teach. Teresa Carson is wise.
She shares her wisdom in this remarkable book."
--Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D. Senior Fellow, The Child Trauma
