Moonshadows,
By A Customer
This review is from: No Moon (Paperback)
One of the best books of poetry in 1997, No Moon is full of lyric grace and haunting images that seem to stroll through strange suburban, half empty landscapes, popping with unexpected connections. Narrative poems, for the most part, but more fluid than the narrative poems I usually run into, and more mysterious. One senses Eimers could hammer us bloody with her power and energy in these poems, yet there is a lightness of touch I admire. This author sets you gently into the middle of a black hole--scary--but then it's beautiful (sometimes sad) and when you walk out into the sunshine afterwards you feel exalted. Like Lucia Perillo, who she is somewhat similar to (but much more hauntingly visual than), I expect she'll soon be picked up by a large press and get the recognition she deserves.

This review is from: No Moon (Paperback)
One of my favorite volumes of all time. Breathtaking and moving poetry that stays with the reader long after it's read. Very highly recommended.
