"In one of the most powerful poems in this collection of powerful
poems, a young widow at the after-funeral reception for her
deceased husband speaks of 'undigested grief.' The nearly
insurmountable charge at the core of these poems is to confront and
attempt to digest such grief. M's penetrating voice is both
authentic and unforgettable as she maps the unwelcome territory
through which she must journey To That Mythic Country Called
Closure." Andrea Hollander, author of Landscape with Female Figure,
Woman in the Painting, The Other Life, and House Without a Dreamer
The poems in Where Good Swimmers Drown are love poems. But love
poems that defy the divisions between emotion and intellect,
private and public, life and art, writer and reader. To read Elbe's
poems is to discover not only what it means to be in love, but what
it means to be alive. Jesse Lee Kercheval, author of Cinema Muto
and The Dog Angel
In the lava flows of Vesuvius and on the slopes of the volcanic
range of Oregon, Chuck Carlise maps out the history of personal
loss in such evocative detail and with such tender regard for the
fragility of the present, that we, too, are caught unaware and
overwhelmed by the 'nervous erasure' of grief. What does one
unearth from such a Pompeii? Objects of beauty, shards of hope.
Obsidian. Paintings on the brothel walls. A bouquet of lace.
Reminders of the way in which memory endures. 'An unbroken field of
blue.' -D. A. Powell, Kingsley Tuft Award Winner for Chronic: Poems
