The poems in Dana Elkun's collection linger like memories around the fireplace of a great manor house. They invite themselves in, pour themselves drinks, and poke around the coat closet of your psyche. The book's logic is sly magic and sleight of hand; the words are made of “fricative thousands” and strung “on vines.” The combined effect is one of lush uneasiness, where comfort is like “a nutshell around your heart.” Wherever we’re going Elkun gets us there: “headfirst/ and full of grace.”
