every word we ever said to each other laid side by side on the white grass each tied with a single strand of your black hairSweeping the Light Back Into the Mirror by Nathan Shepherdson is an extended elegy and memorial for the poet's own mother. Brief, epigrammic aphorisms are contrasted with longer poems, some of which are about the commonplace aspects of a lived life- old shoes, the family stove, handwritten letters, and some of which move resolutely into elegiac record.
