Kristin Berger's How Light Reaches Us is a finely woven, image-rich exploration of self and landscape that gets to the very core of what poetry is about: language borrowed from the land, yet language of a voice so true that there could be none other. Berger's language, then, is both lovely and lucid, leading us to that sharp time of sage / blooming from my skirts, to the deep knowledge of place found only by keen understanding and her even keener pen. In reading her book, we can't help but become our own wardens of the land because her lyric is so sure, creating in us not just the proof, as she writes, but the necessary yearning of this strange love / loping the steppe like hunger. It's a hunger nourished throughout the book but not sated until the last fine poem. It's a hunger we need.
