By examining death from a wide range of angles, Donna Snyder opens the door to a first-rate vision of resurrection: one rooted beyond the humanness of oblivion and permanent sleep and into the greenness of life and wide-open skies. Without question, Poemas ante el Catalfaco: Grief and Renewal is a portrait of an artist who has succeeded in turning tragedy into grace and death into a fine portrait of life’s renewing energy.
