Praise for These Many Rooms:
With language both lush and unflinching, Laure-Anne Bosselaar's new collections allows us a long look at what lost love means in the most beautiful and poignant sense of those words. How do we—how can we—make a way through the vast, invisible territory that stretches before each of us when death claims someone for whom our hearts had awakened gloriously and completely? Such grief demands that we feel too much; we find ourselves pressed into a silence that even our closest companions hesitate to engage. In These Many Rooms, Laure-Anne Bosselaar breaks open this silence, writing frankly and with sublime grace on this difficult walk. As she chronicles life after the sudden passing of her husband, the wonderful poet Kurt Brown, we are offered an intricately detailed map of that half-lit wilderness each person must enter when confronted by overwhelming loss."
