Book Reviews of Houses Are Fields
Book Review: An astonishing debut
Summary: 5 Stars
The end of a mother! Does the sky end, does air? In her powerful first collection, Silverman bears witness to her mother's death from brain cancer, to passionate family love as it sheds its skin, to a daughter's inconsolable suffering. These poems are miracles of transformation. Through her ferocious attention to each partical of grief, the poet elegantly recreates the sorrow of paradise being lost. There is joy here, too, and terrible suspense. I thought of Sylvia Plath, of James Agee. I raced to the end and began again.
