Summary

Poetry. Every night the dog down the road/ asks the same question in an afflicted howling/ I don't understand. Amy Dryansky's poems open the moment of experience for fresh possibilities of understanding. By this, I mean the impact of her language, her vision, and her quest bring us to the point of moving beyond the poems. We are given more in this book than in most collections because the poet has not held anything back. We find ourselves on the other side of the book -- that place any poet and her reader wishes to be -- Ray Gonzalez.
