Alan Shapiro:
"In one of his songs, Neil Young says that
longing for lost love is
"like leaving Paris for the first time."
That phrase could serve as the epigraph
to Karen Head's My Paris Year, a suite
of poems about loss, renewal and acceptance
of grief as the wages of love.
Plainspoken, straightforward,
and pitch perfect in tone,
these poems strike at the heart of how we
reinvent ourselves in midlife, craving danger
reinvent ourselves in midlife, craving danger
as well as safety, discovering who
we are by imagining our lives
we are by imagining our lives
as someone else's."
