Poetry. These spare chunks of prose poetry gradually spell out a survivor's unsentimental, often bleakly morbid, path through grief in careful, conversational language. He never will find out what happened. I'm the lucky pup. I get to know. In Davis's poems, there is a tension between memory and renewal, survival and the future. It's as if poetry could be an instruction manual, an aid to life -- Dale Smith.
