PRAISE for BIRD LIGHT by Elizabeth
Cohen “Here is an exquisite collection of lyrical and imagistic poems
firmly rooted in the natural world. But Elizabeth Cohen’s poems are also rooted
in the human, referring in an oblique way to loss and sorrow, joy and love.
This is truly a beautiful book about survival and the way the natural world
helps to heal us.” ~ Maria Mazziotti Gillan |
“One of the few things as great as watching birds is watching birds
through the eyes of a masterful poet. Elizabeth Cohen is just that—her
craft so fine and so smooth that I read one of the poems twice before realizing
it was a villanelle. Combine this meticulous, honed craft with the abandon and
whimsy of a keen, playful intellect, and you have verse that sings and dips and
soars as gracefully and naturally as a bird in flight. Bird Light is a
book that “licks the air,” “flings, madly, like a shot punctuation mark,” and
‘leaps branches and telephone wires to ride the air to an invisible height.’
Here is a poetic and avian treasure.”
~Melissa
Studdard, author of
I Ate the Cosmos for Breakfast
and Six Weeks to Yehidah
