The candlefish, enormous schools of which enter the Pacific
Northwest's rivers in the spring, is so rich with oil that when
supplied with a wick it can be used as a candle. Thus creatures of
the water become transformed into instruments of fire and spirit,
ultimately transcending this world. Written as the author begins to
navigate the second half of life, Candlefish unfolds along multiple
lines of narrative and reflection. Each poem is rendered from
experience and made incandescent by the spark of the author's
intellect and insight. Whether tending the flower beds,
skinnydipping on her birthday, conversing with a grown daughter, or
bringing inside the teacup her husband can no longer carry,
Elizabeth Biller Chapman distills each moment to its most vital
components and makes them luminous with the necessity and surprise
of relation. Elizabeth Biller Chapman's candlefish gracefully swim
toward the pierced horizon all of us must face and are transformed
by imaginative compassion as the book develops, season by season,
from summer to spring.
