Description
The resonant poems of Navigation have their compass set on the heart’s true north and, as they move through even the darkest times, appear lit from within, “like the body interrupted/ by love becomes bright.” With a sensuous imagination (“my body voiced into life”), a stalwart spirit, a consent to life’s clamor, a fine ear—these poems make emotion intelligible; they distill and illuminate experience—its splendor, suffering, “sudden grace.” An eloquent collection, a lasting pleasure to read.
—Eleanor Wilner
What is navigated in Linda Elkin’s graceful and moving first book? Nothing less than the enormity of the human heart. These poems, with their luminous surfaces and resonant depths, forge meaning from mystery, difficulty, and silence as much as from Eros, art, ripe peaches, and the sea. Though “we know the story is mostly about suffering,” as Elkin writes, her words help to map a way through. “Love gave me an island to keep in sight,” she says in a different poem. Reading Navigation, I feel blessed to be traveling toward that place with her.
