Poetry functions as a home for many of us. Kathryn Ridall has built such a home in her latest book — intimate spaces surrounded by trees, yes, but also a home made of a red dog, the Pacific shore, an entire sky, and a curious humpback near enough to scrutinize her with his left eye. Sometimes joy looks directly at us. It happens, and we are consoled. The Living Waters Between Us brims with a deep well of knowing. May readers find grace in these supple, clear-eyed poems tracing the arc of life.
—Marsha de la O, author, Creature
“Who could believe such colors?” is a journey this poet explores intricately and delicately. In Ridall’s collection, she explores the themes of love, war, family roots, the sea and how to go through the “caves of sorrow.” In these pages, you will find the thunder of bison, the tangle of fern and frond, banana leaves big as boats, sap and light, and hands shaping a prayer. There are transformative discoveries in understanding that “the dead [are] wandering our common streets.” There is catharsis in hovering over each poem, watching each rise, like “trees lifting their hallelujah arms.”
—Connie Post, author, Floodwater (Lyrebird Award winner) and Between Twilight
Kathryn Ridall’s full-length harvest, The Living Waters Between Us, offers the long view of a free-spirited journey around the world and within the vulnerable self. Bowing “before a mystery that can never be forced,” every page is beautifully crafted — stained with love. Walk life’s craggy pathways with this tender-hearted fellow traveler and witness the longed-for miracle, as our “grief and rage…[settle] like sediment in a river.”
—Prartho Sereno, Poet Laureate Emerita, Marin County, CA and author, Starfall in the Temple
