Cathedral/Grove, Susan Glickman' s brilliant new collection, comes to terms with the question of legacy-- what we leave behind as a species, as citizens, and as parents. Marked by the lucidity and precision she has been celebrated for, the poems encompass the monuments of Western civilization, a climate in decline and the pandemic. The title is inspired by the fire that ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral in 2019, destroying the wooden roof-frame known as La Forê t; it also alludes to " Cathedral Grove," otherwise known as MacMillan Provincial Park, one of the last old growth stands on Vancouver Island. In poems of praise and lament for our fractured world-- "Everything is becoming more itself / or something else," she writes-- Glickman has tapped into a magnificent vein of lyric richness.
