Product Description
by Mary Kane (Author)
'Door' is the first collection of poems by Mary Kane. In the words of one reviewer, "The title poem in Mary Kane's collection, 'Door, ' ends with the line, "I only have to change / utterly to enter." As a reader, I changed utterly by the time I reached the last poem in the collection. At least that's how I felt: suffused with understanding deeper than mere language. Kane is a deft word-weaver who is able to create this mysteriously wordless effect. Objects are concretely themselves, and yet, visited again, become doorways to another way of seeing the physical world or to another state of being....Indeed, if 'Door' leads us anywhere, it is to the heart of the unendurable-grief, despair, loneliness-and then back, somehow, to a window."
