Grace

<p><strong>Clearly this is a tricky delicate business. Davidson who has experienced and adapted to severe hearing loss knows quite a lot about inhabiting the gaps between speech and understanding or as he puts it...the hiatus before the image. Like Creeley he has heard words full of holes. It is the job of the poet to attend to such spaces and Davidson does this masterfully. Grace speaks to this moment when it seems we are all losing the ability to hear one another. It may be my personal favorite among Michael Davidson's numerous books. </strong></p><p></p><p></p>
