Synopsis

This is the debut full-length poetry collection from Susan Kelly-DeWitt. Here we embark upon a carefully observed voyage through the century's grave concerns: "the Bomb/finally fallen, the world burned-up/the entire planet radioactive"; we travel through complex personal events and childhood betrayals, and through the cruelties, mysteries and epiphanies of the natural world. From the opening ghazal to the spare title poem at the end, Kelly-DeWitt finds voices of the silenced and the marginalized speaking with surprises of diction, form, and line breaks. She punctuates the poems with references to the visual arts, with allusions to Millet in "Bales Along Highway 4," to O'Keeffe in "Red Hills and Bone," to poems about artists and their lives. In the end the poems in "The Fortunate Islands" function as a personal and spiritual survival guide.
