Résumé
A beautiful collection of verse--both light and dark, elegiac and affirmative--from one of our most admired poets. The title Nothing by Design is taken from Salter's villanelle "Complaint for Absolute Divorce, " in which we're asked to entertain the thought of a no-fault universe. The wary search for peace, personal and public, is a constant theme in poems as varied as "Our Friends the Enemy, " about the Christmas football match between German and British soldiers in 1914; "The Afterlife, " in which Egyptian tomb figurines labor to serve the dead; and "Voice of America, " where Salter returns to the Saint Petersburg of her exiled friend, the late Joseph Brodsky.
A section of charming light verse serves as counterpoint to another series entitled "Bed of Letters, " in which Salter addresses the end of a long marriage. Artfully designed, with a highly intentional music, these poems movingly give form to the often unfathomable, yet very real, presence of nothingness and loss in our lives.
