Love and Errors: A Book of Poetry by Kimberly Dark
|
Few poets are such good storytellers, and Kimberly Dark is a raconteur to be reckoned with. In these poems, Dark gathers the difficult and the beautiful, navigating each with generous curiosity and tender consideration. Love and Errors is a collection bursting with clever observation and alluring imperative alike. These poems seem to move off the page all on their own, and in giving them life Dark has also granted them the power to heal and archive, to witness and persist. “Take turns watching / the door for trouble … Take turns holding / up the banner / of celebration,” Dark writes, and we are nothing if not here for it. |
