Lightning and Ashes

john guzlowski

"The poet’s father tells his son that in one of the slave-labor camps he had watched ‘a woman in the moments before she died / take a stick and try to write her name / in the mud where she lay.’ This book magnificently redeems that lost gesture. It brings us face to face with what we cannot allow ourselves to forget."—Jared Carter
