Cul de Sac – Kathryn Arbour

Cul de Sac invites us to stop, to linger, to feel. With delicacy and precision, Arbour distills memory and observation in meaning. Here you’ll find the flush of new love, the complications of the maternal and of enduring love, the bittersweet beauty of the seasons, the courage of self-reflection.           – Elizabeth George

Love is the axle on which these poems turn. Arbour’s voice is nuanced, clear, startling. You’ll want to stay awhile with her poems, for Cul de Sac grows more intimate and astonishing with each successive reading.                     – Jonathan Wright
