Where the Sky Opens: A Partial Cosmography (Poiema Poetry)

Love is ever mysterious. It begins in attraction or vocational passions held in common, or with a dream that seems it will come true if lived with the Other. There is a center, and all is well as long as it holds.

But what if the center alters? Can that love survive?

Laurie Klein's poems search for the answer through their sheer truthfulness of thought and feeling, after she and her journey mate lose their primary point of connection (a particular kind of faith and approach to faith that was embedded in everything they had and did).

One day the shared faith, and all that came with it, was there. And one day it was gone - the result of a combination of disillusionment with the promises of faith and thoughtfulness in a different direction (towards solitude and wilderness).

Anyone who has suffered loss, of romantic love or something else they held dear, will deeply appreciate the range of experience shared in this collection. Grief is mapped - and confusion. Anger sometimes quivers between the lines. Fear, protest, questions, and a possible key: tenacious exploration and a willingness to see the Other for who he really is and what he s truly found.

Through these poems, with their exquisite attention to detail, sound, and rich natural
settings, Klein takes her own parallel journey into solitude and wilderness. And there,
perhaps, hope for the future is born.
