“Kaufman demonstrates a kind of inventiveness that recalls the poetry of Lisel Mueller. One example is the conceit of “At Aunt Emma’s Table,” where a set of silverware takes on the characteristics of a family; another is “After Reading Rumpelstiltskin to My Son,” Kaufman’s deconstruction of that troubling fairy tale…A Certain Light is imaginative, humane, and often compelling–a distinguished book.”
