Where We Went Through

By: Nowak, Nancy

Nancy Nowak's chapbook Where We Went Through traces a journey through landscapes physical and emotional: Two people begin the journey, but after the loss of one, the other who remains enters sorrow alone.In poems rich with striking imagery and deeply felt language, the two experience ease and joy, exploring cities, countryside, and the edge of the sea. As the woman, on a bluff above the Great Salt Lake, watches her beloved walk within his labyrinth, the Spiral Jetty, she is moved by their brief separateness. Too soon, his sudden illness and death rend their bond. The place where she now lives burns with her grief.With time, she can look in a mirror at the "cobweb of lines" that remind her of times she smiled when they were together. She sees how she will "face staying on without you" his absence her companion, through all seasons left to her.
