Abstract:
In this review, Catherine Carter examines Susan Ludvigson's 2006 collection of poetry Escaping the House of Certainty, Lenard D. Moore's 2008 poetry in A Temple Looming, and Dannye Romine Powell's 2008 poetry in A Necklace of Bees. Ludvigson's Escaping the House of Certainty hosts a collection of poetry that explores the constraints put on ourselves and our art. A Temple Looming follows the poet as he peruses old photos and uses his poetry to expand upon them. The collection of poetry, A Necklace of Bees, examines the poets feelings on loss and the anticipation of loss.
