In Passages, Catharine Savage Brosman presents journeys between the world and spirit, journeys that share an axis of yearning for a realm as pure as desire. Brosman refracts through metrical virtuosity, historical imagination, and a vision like cleansing light a world alive with coruscating colour and sensual textures.
Each line is subtle, quiet, yet breathtaking in its precision, and the spare eloquence of Brosman's perfectly executed gestures invests with stunning pathos poems such as ""Wind"", which reflects a woman abandoned by husband, children, and faith itself, and ""Carnival,"" in which a lonely aging woman at Mardi Gras muses.
Whether rendering a speaker's spiritual communion with Mozart, the febrile longings of a woman caught in adultery in French Algeria, or a love letter by Madame d'Epinay (deftly couched in the metrics and tropes of eighteenth-century France), Brosman moves effortlessly from the broodingly intimate perspectives of other eyes, other souls, to the most abstract of aesthetic meditations.
These are poems of wit and passion, poems that beg to be read and reread, and this remarkable collection reminds us again and again of the passages that open into the lives of our imagination.
