Here Is the Night and the Night on the Road, Paperback

M nica Gomery's Here is the Night and the Night on the Road is here Manuel Paul L pez writes that it's "a vibrant collection populated with lives 'drinking carbon out of the sky.' We confront an environmental logic here where 'each day... is] swabbed in light.' Gomery's poetry consists of ache and wail; outrage and grief; love and tenderness, and most abundantly evident, the immense compassion that this poet delivers in a sweeping, resuscitative vision that honors both life and death." Lillian-Yvonne Bertram says, "In the long tradition of poems about grief, Gomery is a necessary voice. This is an exquisite study in the suddenness of numbered days and the radiant pain of living with love 'tumbling forth.'"
