Under the Hours Barbara Cully

Under the Hours is a new-century work, a voicing of Cully's tidal sense of the temporal, her premonitory stillness, written by desert and sea-light, inscribing the endurance of loss, the necessity of vigilance. Her images are beautiful and precise, her sensibility profound. -Carolyn Forché. Cully's poetics blend humor and a deadpan delivery, an aching love for all things tiny, the desire to face geology, the surreal, the built environment, and the horrors of human culture-with bravery. A style that treats beauty with elegy and is in love with all things shoreline, desert, and ocean.
