Light

By: April Fox

"Light" is the latest collection of poetry from reclusive writer April Fox. Critically acclaimed but flying well under the radar, Fox relies heavily on word of mouth to promote her work as she quietly releases books every few years. Her writing has been described as "powerful," "important," "beautiful" and "disturbing," and ranges from slam-style staccato rage to biting satire to heartbreaking glimpses inside the reality of poverty, depression, and loss. She writes with an often disarming honesty as she reflects on her life, her history, and the world she struggles to belong in. "And in this sorrow, we create ourselves: faces sketched in dull graphite, erased and drawn again / until the lines are blurred and the edges / of our eyes / are indistinct and the creases of our mouths / are parentheses, capturing all the things we never said. In this sorrow, we are written / indelible and clear / we are paragraphs, connected/ We are stories left to tell." -From "Light"
