Overview

Poets Diving in the Night leaps into the "undiscovered country" below surfaces. It is an encomium to poets and writers coming before, suggesting their bravery in diving into incoherence in order to discover meaning, welcoming new seekers along the way. It makes no apology for the difficult or unfamiliar in this philosophical terrain of loss, mystery, myth, and confusion. Poets Diving in the Night is a collection of poems that, paradoxically, explores absence and what lies below language, through language. The poet's persona takes readers with her, pushing past boundaries, leaving visible traces. Water as reflective surface--also flowing and generative--connects the poems in this collection in the way a river runs through our landscapes. We may not recognize the "water-worn features" at first glance, but return to swim with the "luminous kite." Images of absence also connect us even when we lose our way, "until remembering our beginning." Poets Diving is a collection about memory and aphasia, legend and heroism, the lost, but inviolable, voices of Marie Colvin, the author's brother, and our collective past through poetry.
