Bluesy, opinionated, sly, self-chastising and tender, Rhea Tregebov's All Souls'--her first collection since 2004--commands a range of tones wider and bolder than anything in her previous six books. Inspired by crises both personal (divorce, adult children, aging parents) and societal (global warming, financial implosion),All Souls' bracingly addresses the quandary at the heart of our present moment:the fear of change and the fear of standing still. Enriched by a sharp palate and crackling with confidence, Tregebov's new poems capture life in all its rueful aspects, and do so with a lyricism of considerable beauty and power.
