Love and Errors: A Book of Poetry by Kimberly Dark
|
Her smooth and exquisite turns of verse render even the darkest edges of the human experience into something the reader will find relatable even if they've never experienced it themselves. Dark is a fantastic poet... but she's an even better storyteller. 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. |
