The transformative new book from one of the most important American poets at work today (Dunya Mikhail)I am content because before me looms the hope of love.I do not have it; I do not yet have it.It is a bird strong enough to lead me by the rope it bites;unless I pull, it is strong enough for me.I do worry the end of my days might comeand I will not yet have it. But even then I will be braveupon my deathbed, and why shouldnt I be?I held things here, and I felt them.From Psalm 40The poems in Katie Fords fourth collection implore their audiencethe divine and the humanfor attention, for revelation, and, perhaps above all, for companionship. The extraordinary sequence at the heart of this book taps into the radical power of the sonnet form, bending it into a kind of metaphysical and psychological outcry. Beginning in the cramped space of selfhoodin the bedroom, cluttered with doubts, and in the throes of marital lossthese poems edge toward the clarity of what I can know and admit to knowing. In song and in silence, Ford inhabits the rooms of anguish and redemption with scouring exactness. This is poetry that can break open, // it can break your life, it will break you // until you remain. If You Have to Go is Fords most luminous and moving collection.
