Recenzii
"Creature is at once lyrical and thoughtful, meditative, brooding, and yet full of hopeful affirmation."
—The Lake
"This is, indeed, a collection with which to experience such uncertainties as if they were sacred. Because they are."
—On The Seawall
"Marsha de la O knows of fire, force of destruction and engine of rebirth."
—California Review of Books
“In Creature, de la O’s rhetorical constructions are faceted, heart-changing things, urgent glimpses into the mythologies of family love and our dramatically intimate relationship with nature over time. Creature doesn’t engage familiar ironies: de la O’s statements probe; her questions posit change. Restless chance is especially vibratory in her hands. The elegies engage rather than simply present life’s insistent, ingenious push toward death, ‘our ritual for vanishing,’ until each story is annealed—for a moment only—and made holy.”
—Dorothy Barresi, author of What We Did While We Made More Guns
“To read Marsha de la O’s Creature is to be immersed in timescapes of forest, canyon, and sea where the moment is both ancient and elongated, where language becomes world, suddenly tangible and sensate. Here is the rare gift that calls readers to remember in so many directions at once and makes them feel more whole, more here. Intuitive, wise, vigorous, deep of earth and heart, these pages pulse with ‘the life force whose name is creature.’ I am mesmerized.”
—Jennifer K. Sweeney, author of Foxlogic, Fireweed
“Marsha de la O’s splendid Creature brims with the wild force these poems seek to track, a holiness lying in ‘needles / in shards’ of brokenness. In poem after exquisite poem De la O turns to that ineffable force as a lens that transfigures the pain of the human condition and discloses that ‘brokenness is made of breath, / blue wash of twilight, a glimmering / spread of wings.’”
—Laura Reece Hogan, author of Butterfly Nebula
“Marsha de la O portrays poppies that bloom after wildfires, a child born blue ‘like Krishna,’ a father who died ‘as petals began to brown.’ These are psalms of grief and labor for time passing, ones that sing in multiple registers to remind us that life, in the face of many oppressions, continues, resists, and grows despite anything.”
— Sean Thomas Dougherty, author of Death Prefers the Minor Keys

EXCERPT FROM “SUDDEN LIGHT”
. . . If I could
become moonlight on water,
I might be darkness an eye could
train itself to navigate.
A heron takes to air in the end.
Brokenness is made of breath,
blue wash of twilight, a glimmering
spread of wings, like that evening
my mother flew out of herself
after they shut off the machine, slipped
the last needle . . .
