Once More from the Beginning
We are a great chain! Each of us is forged into shape by the things we do in life. Yet, we remain, connected to the previous link. We arrive, as a spot of hot molten metal, pliable and ready to be crafted, as if by the blacksmiths of old. Following the time of childhood we gain mastery over our life working so feverishly to form it and shape it, an exciting new link! Albeit, we are inextricably tied to the previous link who has by now, become solid and hard with age. As time passes, each of us will issue new links, our children. Later, we too, will, in time, become hardened and set in our ways as we slowly slip into the pages of history with our ancestors. Interestingly, this is a chain that cannot be broken; but it will be tried, twisted and stretched during our times of trouble. A link can be weak or strong. We will manifest both our strengths and our weakness to all who follow us. Our responsibility is to bring something good to the chain and not to shame, defile or weaken it!
A Fine Dusting of Brightness
The title of this collection, A Fine Dusting of Brightness, also opens an extraordinary poem of literary description and exposition focused on Vermeer's painting The Cook. These poems embody ekphrasis even when the subject of the poem is not a visual work of art. Many of the poems consider loss--the failings of age or sickness--and death, yet vivid observations become surprisingly juxtaposed images and skillful irony. For example, in "Final Gift," as they dissect a loved one's corpse, the student doctors give a kind of immortality: "you will live / in their learning." In another poem, "Simple Fracture," a mother recalls a son's birth as he endures setting a broken bone--in both, the son is "holding me / tight against the pain." For other writers, bereavement and desolation seem opposed to life, but for Dorothy Brooks, they extend the range of colors in "this ordinary moment: This life." --Carol Mahler
Dorothy Dainty at Glenmore
"The Stone House looked as fine, and its gardens as gay with flowers, as when the members of the household were to be at home for a season, for it always seemed at those times as if the blossoming plants did their best, because sure of loving admiration. But something entirely new was about to happen; something that made Dorothy Dainty catch her breath, while her dearest friend, Nancy Ferris, declared that she was wildly happy, except that the whole thing seemed so like a dream that she could hardly believe it. "That's just it, Nancy," said Dorothy. ―Dorothy Dainty at Glenmore
