Apostrophe

Author: Elizabeth Robinson

Publisher: Apogee Press (2006)

"Somewhere along in this manuscript, a series of elegies for a lost friendship, I suddenly felt the miracle: I will not quote the lines, for the lines will be different for each reader: the miracle that within this poetry I am changed. It is not that I come to understand it, so much, as that this poetry understands me; I am seen. This is how radiance breaks into the world."

–Jean Valentine
