Summary: KELLY CHERRY MAPS THE HUMAN HEART.
Comment: Kelly Cherry has always brought poetry alive for me. In her way of writing, Cherry cuts to the core of human understanding in as clear a way as possible. Cherry's newest collection, Death and Transfiguration: Poems, is no exception. Breath taking, painful and searching, the collection is an exploration of the darker moments in human experience, rendered in sensitive, rich, and refreshing thought, passion, and language. These poems are urgent, crucial contributions to our understanding of such moments, and our understanding of the power of poetry. Those readers familiar with Cherry's poetry know she writes through those subjects considered not conquerable (death, love, God). Yet, where many poets fail under the intellectual and emotional weight of such subjects, Cherry masters each with skillful intent. Diction is sharply crafted, metaphors are clear and beautifully created, and language and meter choice make Cherry's poetry sing like the strongest and saddest of songs.
