Gilbert</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>         Profound grieving, as anyone who has experienced it knows, is not a systematic undertaking, but a series of unpredictable mood-states, the darkest extreme altering over time, but never entirely vanishing.  A poetics of process could be put to no better use than to chart these wave-like recurrences.  In this beautiful longer work, Phyllis Stowell remains an experimental poet, but achieves a new and heartbreaking simplicity.</B></div> <div> <B>                                                  --Alan Williamson</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Phyllis Stowell, PhD, is Professor Emerita, Saint Marys College and founding member of the SMC Master of Fine Arts.  She is a former Fellow of the Camargo Foundation, Cassis, France.
