"In All Souls, Saskia Hamilton transforms compassion, fear, expectation, and memory into art of the highest order. The poems and lyric fragments make an inventory of truths that carries us through the night's reckoning with mortal hope into daylight. But even daylight--with its escapements and unbreakable numbers, "restless / irregular light and shadow, awakened"--can't appease the crisis of survival at the heart of this collection. Vibrating with a ghostly radioactive attentiveness, these poems record "a disturbance within the order of moments." Departure can't be stopped, but tenderness, courage, refusal, and acceptance infuse this work, arresting and in some ways fixing time"--Page 4 of cover.
