Sinopsis

In her fourth collection of poetry, Where Water Meets the Rock, Lindsey Martin-Bowen explores loss and recuperation in three sections. &ldquo,Erosion,&rdquo, the book&rsquo,s elegiac opening sequence, laments a trinity of tragic Greek personas: Pasiphaë, Psyche, and Antigone. The middle section, &ldquo,Frenzies,&rdquo, a series of zany poems, emulates the ensuing topsy-turvy world that follows deep loss. And finally, &ldquo,On the Shore&rdquo, completes the triad, concluding that by re-seeing and re-building life, one can heal the psyche and the spirit. Once again, through the use of her recurring sea-rock metaphor, Martin-Bowen has employed a poetic technique that effectively maintains both a visual and auditory descriptive style, which, according to New Letters editor Robert Stewart, is defined by her &ldquo,refreshing reliance on imagery and understatement.&rdquo,
