All We Saw

A mesmerising, luminously beautiful new poetry collection from Anne Michaels, internationally acclaimed poet and bestselling author of&,nbsp,Fugitive Pieces.In this passionate, profound collection, Anne Michaels explores one of her essential concerns: ''what love makes us capable of, and incapable of''. Here is the paradox at the heart of loss, the ways in which passion must accept, must insist, that ''death. give/not only take from us''. A sea in darkness, a woman''s hair shining in light, rain falling. how quiet must a voice be in order to be heard? In this way, desire is evoked with intensity and precision. By the end, we are left with a renewed awareness of the mystery at the core of existence, we enter a space that is ''not inside, not outside: / dusk''s doorway,'' where love remains alive.
