About the Book

As poet and essayist Mary Ruefle has asked, "Which is more inexpressible, the beautiful or the terrifying?" And as Wallace Stevens reminds us, "Death is the mother of beauty." Kathleen Dale's work has been compared to that of Sharon Olds and Elizabeth Bishop. In this, her fourth collection of poetry, Dale explores the connections between beauty and the deaths -- big and small -- that are always taking place around us. She "unnames" beauty in order to see it afresh in its many guises: her connection to the conflicted history of her home state, Kansas; the sudden death of her beloved sister at sixteen; the beauty and fragility of present family relationships; the uses of music and poetry in transforming loss; the varied perspectives that can lead us past stuck points; the hope in new life that can lead us past sorrow. As Linda Aschbrenner, founder of Free Verse, has said of Dale's earlier work, some of which is contained in this collection, Dale "faces off with death in these radiant, haunting, deeply felt poems of remembrance. . . .[Her] memorable words streak across life's ravines. We need such authentic poems for our sustenance." (Proceeds from the sale of this book will go to benefit Jazale's Art Studio (jazalesartstudio.org), which promotes the arts and education for the youth of Milwaukee.)
About the Author: Kathleen Dale was born in Kansas, though she has lived on the shore of Lake Michigan for many years with her husband, Steve Kapelke. They have three grown daughters. She is a serious amateur pianist and has always seen an intimate connection between music and poetry. Her blog on her website (www.kathleenanndale.squarespace.com) chronicles the process of creating both poetry and musical performance. A Pushcart nominee, Dale is also the recipient of several prizes and best-in-issue awards for her poems, which have appeared in over thirty journals. She was nominated for inclusion in Best American Poetry 2014, and in Spring, 2013, was featured poet in The Centrifugal Eye's "Sinkhole: Drowning or Surviving-Themes on Coping in Poetic Form." Her previous works include Ties that Bind (Finishing Line Press, 2006), Rescue Mission (Antrim House Press, 2011), and Avatars of Baubo (Green Fuse Press, 2013), all of which are available on her website.
