Review of The Uncertainty of Light by Alana Saltz
The Uncertainty of Light
By Alana Saltz
Blanket Sea Press, 2020
Read The Uncertainty of Light (Blanket Sea Press, 2020) by Alana Saltz for three reasons: vivid imagery that forces one to stop reading and close their eyes to see it as the poet sees it, rare journeys into the mind of one who faces pain but presses through it with undeniable grace, and tender glimpses into a myriad of forests.
Sometimes the forests spring up as shade-giving trees under a relentless sun; other times they grow lush around the reader, pulling them down to lie face-up and glimpse the light through the branches in ways they never saw it before.
The poems deliver readers to stark hospitals with beeping machines and endless wires but always, always transport them gently back to the natural world again. The book names impossible trials and courage that surmounts them.
Most astonishingly, it defines unconditional love, the kind that grows lush around every kind of pain, softening and comforting as it thrives.
