G. C. Waldrep meditates on his experience as artist and religious believer. "It is a poet’s job, first and foremost, to write. Never avert your eyes, we are told, in another context. But in not averting our eyes we don’t always have to speak. Or share."
"Osier is a poet I have never met and about whom I know very little, but her poems are mysterious, rich in their clarity, uncanniness, and clairvoyance. Her work feels at once familiar and strange, and that quality has haunted me."
