Overview

This little book holds a mother's unbounded grief in poems graceful and adamant, truthful and amazed. There is never closure after a child's death, Laura Urban Perry teaches us, but street lights and galaxies still shine, sometimes in waters stirred by a kayak paddle. Here is her beautifully rendered transition from one world to another-not beyond great pain but in concert with it.

- Kathleen Flenniken, author of Plume and Post Romantic

In False Horizons, Laura Urban Perry uses language as a telescope and a microscope to explain her journey that "Even God dares not try"-through grief after her son dies. She juxtaposes words such as asymmetry, hypothesis, and machinery with stray, cradle, and "music and wrapping paper." This is a hauntingly beautiful telling from "yesterday's sweet ordinary" to the "kintsugi repair of / gold in the fracture."

-Susan Landgraf, author of Out of a Land of Alkali & Chromate
