We belong to each other "even in the worst day," Helga Kidder writes in her fourth collection of poems, Loving the Dead. That belonging encompasses the arcing heavens, the "bruised moon," the trilling Earth, the sometimes prideful tug of our closest relations.

And she does, honoring both her sister's life and packing us for the luminous journey into memory's beam and vapor.
