The Goodbye Child

By Dominique Traverse Locke

What a pleasure to spend time with this collection of beautifully crafted, deeply moving poems. The first thing I was taken with is Dominique's ability to place the reader in a kind of liminal place (physically or emotionally), quietly haunting places, places that at any moment could vanish. A powerful tension moves throughout this collection, a collection filled with fresh, vivid images and new ways of exploring and expressing old themes.-Cathy Smith Bowers At its best, Dominique's work is so musical, replete with prosodic fun and Appalachiantwang and lyrical intensity. There's a natural easefulness to the storytelling on the page.-Alan Michael Parker Not without humor, the beautiful poems of The Goodbye Child navigate the terrain through loss to love-love, that is, the refuge where grief at last can reside. -Sally Keith
