The aftermath of a death is central to the unfolding in these poems. And yet the poems are not made too heavy by grief. Unspeaking light and pattern shape them, along with love of the world that "holds you captive each night/ when the light has long given out." With bird song, the lapping of water against the shore, More Feathers in the Lake Than Swans does more than keep "the noise of the artificial world/ at bay." It shows us a way to transform loss into a find.
