In Passing by Deborah Cooper

These poems invite us in to the spaces between things, into “…a pause of breath/ between the known/ and the next…between the lake/and the coral clouds/of morning…” They invite us to let go for a time of the words inside of us and to just make a space, to experience liminal places of possibilities without ever being pushed across any particular threshold. Cooper invites us to make a space, to let our bodies fill with a million stars, to linger the way “…green lingers/in the trees…” and to notice how “….the old poems/make a beautiful fire…” These are the kinds of poems that can keep a person warm and you might say human, “…you might say/shimmering…”
–Ellie Schoenfeld, Author of ‘The Dark Honey’, Former Duluth Poet Laureate
