About The Book

Undone is a cornucopia of passionate poems arranged into three sections. «Forgotten» has mostly to do with the aftermath of a heart-rending breakup; «Kindred» features poems on fellow artists in poetry, music and painting (ranging from Georgia O’Keeffe to Snoopy, beagle-novelist); in «Apprentice,» leaving is transformed into celebration, poem after poem about fierce loving of a world that we will have to leave. In these hard-hitting, highly personal poems, lamentation is a key note. Crushing loneliness weighs heavily on the spirit. But Sue Goyette has ways of sharing pain with a compensating lift: wonderful flights of metaphor, language charged with verbal energy. «Isn’t that our job,» she asks, «to coax out the light in the story?» It’s a job she takes to heart and performs brilliantly.

The poems in Undone have the amplitude proper to «watching wide» — a discipline good for seeing shooting stars and, as this book illustrates, all other kinds of light in a darkness palpable but never enveloping, not when probed so truly and sung so beautifully.

«If I had to do it again, I’d place a stethoscope on the heart of us

Sooner. I’d prescribe Neruda, not the despair but the slow blossom of 20 kisses.

Goodbye, goodbye to the slippery duvet of this bed. The cold floor

of awake and how hope can have insomnia, spend the whole night wishing.

Heartbreak is a geological occurrence.»

from «A Version of Courage»
