Reseña del libro "Other Times, Midnight (en Inglés)"

In Other Times, Midnight, her debut collection, Andrea Ballou explores the aftermath of loss--death, divorce, and departures--and asks the toughest questions: how do we contend with grief and remorse, and where does the spirit go to wait out trauma? Ballou's poems fight our "impulse to not speak," aware that naming, and that speech itself, is a matter of life and death. Her startling and often humorous images rooted in the fields, forests and domesticity of rural life are juxtaposed with oblique, at times irreverent, adaptations of Celtic and Greek myth and biblical stories. For Ballou, language is both tool and weapon, as useful and durable as a hoe, wheelbarrow, sword, thread. Caught "in the mouth of midnight," these poems wrestle with the numinous, their voices--cranky and cajoling, always compassionate and vulnerable--urging us toward the fullness of being human, daring us, despite it all, to love again.
