In Remembering Fireflies, Pamela Laskin loosens the knot of
familial relationships enough for us to lean in close to the fault
lines inherent with all sorts of love and longing. Without
sentimentality, in clear and precise language, Laskin traces and
pierces the desire and disappointment of being a daughter, of
becoming a mother. These poems offer surprising jolts when
experience does not meet expectation, when pessimism hovers over
hope or curves into cynicism. A world emerges in which a new mother
creeps close to the edge during a sleepless night as her "son
continues to cry," and she speaks to Joel Stienberg, admitting "I
could have been you."
Linda Susan Jackson, author of What Yellow Sounds Like
As these poems turn phrase they take unexpected turns on our
imaginations, each notion we hold made and then unmade in an
instant. Truly a delightful read - a collection to keep returning
to.
Catherine McKinley, author of The Book of Sarahs
