“Kaufman’s poems trace a journey of passion, emotional turmoil, loss and reconfiguration, sometimes in natural settings of almost mystical beauty. The smart, passionate, self-questioning poems of the book’s opening move to the father’s death that is the core of this work. Out of that loss, Kaufman comes into “This Moment,” a last section that shimmers with acceptance, understanding, and the beauty of a world where a boy playing in leaves tosses “armfuls of color upward/like sparks.” This collection is a journey that sings—fugue, lament, and finally hymn of muted celebration.”
