In these hard-hitting, highly personal poems, lamentation is a key note. Crushing loneliness weighs heavily on the spirit. But Sue Goyette has ways of sharing pain with a compensating lift: wonderful flights of metaphor, language charged with verbal energy. \"Isn't that our job,\" she asks, \"to coax out the light in the story?\" It's a job she takes to heart and performs brilliantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems in \u003cem\u003eUndone\u003c\/em\u003e have the amplitude proper to \"watching wide\"—a discipline good for seeing shooting stars and, as this book illustrates, all other kinds of light in a darkness palpable but never enveloping, not when probed so truly and sung so beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"If I had to do it again, I'd place a stethoscope on the heart of us \u003cbr\u003eSooner.
