In this garden, cosmic harmony reveals itself in the \"ciphers\" of roots and worms, in a piece of blue willow china-\"a blaze of balance, of wholeness\"-that survives a fire in which a lonely, tormented neighbor died.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe white sheets crack in the wind,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efat bellies of sails\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esweet as round stomachs of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStark, lovely, elegiac, gently surreal, Gentry's poems resonate and echo in the vast spaces of the heart; long after being read, lines return, lines like those of the lovely \"In the Moment of My Death (For My Father)\" that beg to be memorized:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the moment of my death\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emay your old happiness light my way;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand the image of your face\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esmiling, happy at my coming,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebe a lantern in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe taste of desire, the pang of remembered loss, the sorrow of leaving a house-Jane Gentry has found a way to make these things new.
