Kathleen Aponick's BRIGHT REALM is bright indeed with the richness of the world, "the journeying,/its unknowable end." "To read a book of poems is to engage with a sensibility: living inside a poet's head, seeing as she does, thinking as she thinks, feeling as she feels. Kathleen Aponick's poems acquaint the reader with a speaker aware simultaneously of the tactile present as experienced in the natural world, of the haunting enigmas of the ever-present past, and of the menaces of the future, both personal and public. In clear, precise language, Aponick conveys the paradox of continuity in the light of change. Her speaker feels the presence of past lives and senses the inevitable losses of the future, yet the poems beautifully remind us: 'The day's a gift with velvet moss- /covered rocks, / the clearest air, / highbush blueberries, / dragonflies, / black mushrooms, / worlds of lichens...' (from 'Interlude at Elliott Laurel'). Her book, BRIGHT REALM, is also a gift." - Joan Aleshire...
