In Passing

<p>These poems invite us in to the spaces between things into ...a pause of breath/ between the known/ and the next...between the lake/and the coral clouds/of morning... They invite us to let go for a time of the words inside of us and to just make a space to experience liminal places of possibilities without ever being pushed across any particular threshold. Cooper invites us to make a space to let our bodies fill with a million stars to linger the way ...green lingers/in the trees... and to notice how ....the old poems/make a beautiful fire... These are the kinds of poems that can keep a person warm and you might say human ...you might say/shimmering...</p><p><strong> -Ellie Schoenfeld</strong> Author of <em>The Dark Honey</em> Former Duluth Poet</p><p><br></p>
