The Commute
The publication of an extended poem is an occasion for rejoicing. It reminds us of the old epics, of the pleasures of a tale told in a leisurely way, with all of the emotional resonances of poetry to add depth. In "The Commute" Patricia Edith's poem does this work: it draws us into the narrative, the personal story of love and loss, with a mesmerizing poetic tone which adds depth and complexity. This book will well reward the careful reader with its artistry, honesty and quiet beauty. Karla Clark
