Silent Letter
Gail Hanlon
(Author)
Description
Silent Letter, the masterful full-length debut from Gail Hanlon, centers around the idea of learning to navigate desire, uncertainty, and grief. In part through art and literature, and in part through alternative ways of knowing, divination, I Ching, Tarot, dreams, meditation, and ritual, Hanlon's poems explore the natural world and the edges of memory, language, and consciousness. Breathtaking in its concision and stirring in its empathy, Silent Letter soars.

About the Author
Reviews
"Brisk, honed, graven as talismans, but somehow fluent and sensual, always carried by a most subtle sprezzatura-Gail Hanlon's poems offer so much of what I want from poetry: one person's brave whistling in the dark, a song that mystery can't help but envy and give an answer to." -David Rivard, author of Some of You Will Know
"Hanlon's calligraphic style and sureness of touch allow her to startle us and dazzle us by turns. Her poems radiate energy and vibrant life; to read them is to partake of a bracing beauty." -Jennifer Barber, author of The Sliding Boat Our Bodies Made
"Gail Hanlon's masterful, uneasy mixture of ghostly epistles, imagistic memoir, and involute but plainspoken metaphysics sketch a quiet wilderness of self, a grief-land of beautiful questing and questioning. " -Gregory Lawless, author of Dreamburgh, Pennsylvania
