Night Holds Its Own

By Ciara Shuttleworth

In this wonderful collection of poems, Night Holds Its Own, Ciara Shuttleworth lives up to the early promise of her best known work, the astonishing "Sestina." Her territory is the human heart and mapped herein is the confusing nexus of love, loss, and above all, desire. Its inhabitants are a restless tribe, seeking in motion what they have lost in their all too temporary couplings. "I'm concentrating on the rear-view/like I'm going somewhere." In these poems, natural forces promise both oblivion and redemption; lightening is shroud and wedding dress, and the scent of the ocean can track you down even in the middle of the desert. This collection will leave you, like the "What Sings Is the Drunk Boy's Hands," ..".always singing, One more, just one more." - Robert Schenkkan, Pulitzer prize and Tony Award winning author
