In Frozen Latitudes, Ther se Halscheid welcomes the lucky reader into a world of deep love, familial illness, and the dual human urges to speak and be heard. The narrator takes a look at "how it really looked long ago" and how "lips, bright as scars, are parting open with words so the great air can take them." The settings of these exquisite poems range from a childhood home colored by a father's dementia to the northern interior of Alaska with its stories from The Real People in which each word is "a language of light." These are moving, masterful poems in a brilliantly cohesive collection. - Donna Baier Stein, editor of Tiferet
