Divide These

Poet Saskia Hamilton, author of As for Dream, explores "where the pull of reverie becomes palpable and eerily seductive" ("Poetry").
Only nightFirst light
I will not quite
fit in this hole
nor you with
your long fingers
--from "Divide These"
These spare, evocative poems register things at the edge of our attention that confound our systems of belief. In "Divide These," Saskia Hamilton brings delicate observation together with riveting assertion to make an original, unsettling music.
