WREN

By Elizabeth Stabler

" Like poets throughout the ages, Elizabeth Stabler uses intermediaries--a wren, bee-fl y,tulips, phlox--to move from the deeply observed world around her into an inner realmwhere she writes movingly of the "unguarded self," of love's "ferocity and transformingpower" and of loss. Her amazing "Schoolbus Sestina" is an unforgettable experienceof time and place as is the voice of the painter in "The Bee-fl y and the Lily" who withthe bee-fl y seeks to "render our longing immortal"--a wonderful contribution to theancient theme of artistic aspiration. Alive with a passionate commitment to beautyin nature and the expressive power of language, these poems, like the trilling voiceof the poet's wren, return their gift to the reader again and again."--Jane D'Arista, author of The Overgrown Copse & Other Poems
