Harmony of the Next
Selected Poems
This is lush and generous book, a stirring of myth and childhood always coming home to the flesh. A Gnostic Mary and a young girl on a swing are at home in the same dream space. Deborah DeNicola has written her richest book, and one to get delightfully lost in. —Doug Anderson
In language that is both stunning and devastating, these poems enact journeys between earth's shore and the shore of the infinite world, and back again. With heart and with courage they remind us that all we have is our naked selves, that love and loss are to be equally honored: "You can't lose or refuse what's yours." —Maragaret Lloyd
