This accessible collection is one we take heart and believe in. Yet they are no simple retellings of life in verse, but a world that enacts a spirit of awe, compelling us to read them over again, Casey's gift to us:"the better share of grace'" --Jeffrey Alfier // There is an ancientness inherent in the poems of Kevin Casey's And Waking.Poems. These are memory-laden, incisive meditations on the shadowed world that lives beside us: the silent spaces of a house, a drawer's unseen contents, a cellar made more present by a flood, the rhythm of water against a boat's wooden hull. Casey's work is by turns, reverent, melancholy, and intimate; he lets us place our hands against dirt and stone, on bark, and into silt, feeling what is ".still and deep, beyond the reach / of the frail and glinting finger bones of stars." Agile and silent, these poems are windows on a world. -- Rachel Adams.
