Going Fast

Roberta Senechal de la Roche's poems in Going Fast express a rage against transience, a sense of alienation from nature, and a search for the lost supernatural in a secular age. Darkly lyrical and tenderly elegiac, her poems reach across space and time in a yearning search for transcendence. Here voices speak to the dead, and the dead speak back. Gods, parents, lovers, refugees, and tribal people speak, then disappear. In their disenchanted world, lost voices lament the fall of empires, faithlessness, betrayal, and decay.
