The Wavering Fledge of Light

Arts & Literature

“Each of Lawrence Wray’s poems is on an urgent errand to the heart of the matter. Whether narrative, meditative, elegiac, or quietly celebratory, whether pursuing ‘the loss that binds us’ or ‘the things that save us,’ each is exquisitely paced, full of unexpected juxtapositions, vibrant with sensory detail, and spun out in language that feels newfound. The Wavering Fledge of Light leads into the most necessary, magical, and resonant depths of human experience.”
