Again

by Lynne Knight

In Again, Lynne Knight's musical and compelling fourth full-length collection of poetry, her measured and lyrical voice reveals desire and memory as physical spirits invoked by the spell of the poem so that the reader embodies her stories of the body of damage and breakage, recovery and repair. Whether autobiographical or ekphrastic, the poems are equally genuine, bringing image to life, like bright fruit constantly replenished. Following hunger and beauty to their extremes, the poems allow us to confront loss as well as grief, "which finally requires of us // acceptance but also tact / in the breakage, yes, but not utter ruin."
