Summary: Beautiful poems!
Review: The subject of these poems is the death of Digges' husband, from cancer. The poems are lyrical and honest. The title poem, is stunning --- "Trapeze" (..."O, the dying are such acrobats. Here you must take a boat from one day to the next, or clutch the girders of the bridge, hand over hand. But they are sailing like a pendulum between eternity and evening..."). Also, "Greeter of Souls" ("...Can I not be a greeter of souls...on which side of the river should I wait?") Digges asks all the questions that the bereaved will ask. These are lovely poems.
