Said Through Glass : Poems

Jona Colson's Debut Poetry Collection Asks the reader to reconsider ordinary life as something curious, even fantastic. In a collection that illuminates both the public and private self, Colson leads us from grief to healing, giving voice to what normally goes unsaid. From fanciful, imaginary dialogues to sorrow over a father's death to a lyric sequence based on Velázquez' Las Meninas, in which the subjects of the famous painting speak, Colson shows himself to be a young poet of astonishing, apparently limitless range-sometimes whimsical, sometimes terrifying, but always contemplative, tender, and wise.
