HTML: In All Souls, Saskia Hamilton transforms compassion, fear, expectation, and memory into art of the highest order. Judgment is suspended as the poems and lyric fragments make an inventory of truths that carry us through night's reckoning with mortal hope into daylight. But even daylightâ??with its escapements and unbreakable numbers, "restless, / irregular light and shadow, awakened"â??can't appease the crisis of survival at the heart of this collection. Marked with a new openness and freedomâ??a new way of saying that is itself a study of what can and can't be saidâ??the poems give way to Hamilton's mind, and her unerring descriptions of everyday life: "the asphalt velvety in the rain."
