Reviews
". . . . In language that's simultaneously inventive and plainspoken, Bosselaar charges the ordinary world with the electricity of memory and emotion, so that we feel the missing person's presence everywhere. These Many Rooms is moving, profound, and unforgettable, not the least because it shows us how beauty can be both a solace and a wound. This is a book I'll return to again and again." --Chase Twichell
". . . . In These Many Rooms, Laure-Anne Bosselaar breaks open this silence, writing frankly and with sublime grace on this difficult walk. As she chronicles life after the sudden passing of her husband, the wonderful poet Kurt Brown, we are offered an intricately detailed map of that half-lit wilderness each person must enter when confronted by overwhelming loss." --Tim Seibles
