Pan’s Dance

Arts & Literature

“Rebecca Law’s Pan’s Dance is a distillation of work old and new, but it is a collection unified always by a soft, sensitive, echoic bewilderment at the actual world and ‘behind the brightness, the forms which are, shining.’ Law’s poems trace the membrane of encounter between interior and exterior, sensibility and perception, where ‘a flood of gentle light / into a room can seem coming / from an outstretched hand.’”
