Summary

Cindy Savett's The Breath is a riveting meditation on grief and resilience. Savett's vivid, resonant poems create a language for renewal out of the urgent "phantom tongue" of loss. The Breath casts an honest, empathetic eye on the grief process, leading us, achingly, "into the stable of vanished gods" and encouraging us to "pace / within the flame" of absence--to reimagine loss as a transformative practice that can redeem the "hush / left behind." --Tony Trigilio, author of The Complete Dark Shadows (of My Childhood), Book 1
