Review The focus in Cheryl Dumesnils poetry is on contemporary subjects in contemporary languagealways with fresh understandings and surprising angles and, like all good poetry, with the best words in the best order.Ed OchesterIn poems that keep us alive by recording / all our details right, Cheryl Dumesnil passionately and at times irreverently approaches the consequences of desire, knowing that sometimes / looking closer lets us love something / more. Confucius and Karen Carpenter may ghost through these poems, but autistic children and the selfless community of women spark the unspoken wondering / if any one of us is safe. The poems remain celebratory, though, because their eloquent yet unassuming gestures 'raise us / up from the depths, silver, glimmering. In Praise of Falling is a debut of extraordinary transparency and generosity.Michael WatersA beautiful, linguistic celebration of the surprises that come from seeming failures. BOMBlogPoems that calm and inspire . . . Introspection tempered by humility and gratitude, key qualities of Zen, character In Praise of Falling. This book is well worth reading for its quiet pleasures.The Potomac Product Description The poems in this collection are the proverbial spring bulbs abandoned in the basement, growing toward a slim crack of sunlight. They are both aware of the limitations of social structures and forcefully committed to breaking out of those traps, urging toward a better way of living. The characters in these poems resist the twentyfirst centurys prescription for a life of emotionalspiritual bankruptcy, reaching toward an everelusive glimmer on the horizon.
