The House Was Quiet, But the Mind Was Anxious by Nancy Dafoe K’74

(Georgetown, Ky.: Finishing Line Press, 2022).
As one reviewer so eloquently wrote of this poetry collection: “When we are lost, let poets lead us. Grief, both personal and collective, turns most humans mute, but Dafoe’s a seasoned poet who keeps her eyes open in the dark. With intelligence and skill, she translates the inexplicable and unacceptable into precise, elegant poems that gift us with penetrating images, ideas, and moods — a lonesome frog, a multiverse, a silent house. These transformative poems show us we can pass through devastation into an altered life, ‘forever beginning anew,’ like the galaxies and stars.”
