Reseña del libro "The Trouble with Light (en Inglés)"

In The Trouble with Light, Jeremy Michael Clark reflects on the legacy of familial trauma as he delves into questions about belonging, survival, knowledge, and self-discovery in unflinching lyrical poems. "Like you," he writes, "I have . . . [a] history of / hardly caring for my body, of letting / whoever drink their share of me, / thinking it could cure / my fear of dirt." Whether ruminating on intimacy, lineage, identity, faith, or addiction, Clark's poems embody a restless, rigorous curiosity. Largely set in the poet's hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, his portraits of interiority gracefully juxtapose the sorrows of alienation and self-neglect with the restorative power of human connection. In one of the most affectionate--and characteristically ambivalent--poems in the collection, Clark recalls, "For days, doubt struck as does lightning / across the span of night. . . . Love? If it exists, / it's the uncertainty one feels before a thunderclap, / after the sky's gone dark again." A vulnerable and transporting debut, The Trouble with Light is a vital record of how grief can endure, and how we can yet endure ourselves.
