From the author of To Give it Up (Sun and Moon Press) which was selected by Barbara Guest for the National Poetry Series, comes Pam Rehm's Inner Verses, a book of deep gravitas that belies its slim, portable volume.

Comprising lyric poems that are attentive to ""the underneath mind / growing more and more / quieted,"" Inner Verses is a collection that understands the ways in which time is mutable and brief. Here, we experience a genuine devotion for both birdsong and breath, and the intimacies of thought connecting the two. In this way and with exacting tenderness, Pam Rehm creates poems that relish solitude and yet are generous enough to carry us as company.

Reviews for Inner Verses

"Previous praise:""These poems have an angelic quality, a solid invisibility that buoys up the lines from under and around them. There is neither an I nor a Thou within range, but both of these seem to be balancing Rehm's thoughts from end to end."" —Fanny Howe on Small Works “Pam Rehm possess[es] a lyric sensibility of deep, genuine reach.” — Dan Beachy-Quick ""Poetry is the antagonist of denial. Complicating the familiar world purely with the evidence of eye and insight, it insists upon the Spirit of things, even as life desolates our spirits with coarse familiarity. Pam Rehm, in this magnificent book of Showings, reveals new content and new contours in the breaking day. Her voice is a guide and guarantor.""—Donald Revell"
