Yellow Light is the third work from Kentuckian, S. Elizabeth Cook's 'arsenal' and is an expression of lament and heartbreak, but also of love, strength and perseverance. To borrow her own phrase, S. Elizabeth knows all too well 'the beauty in heartache and the deflating pain of love', but she believes 'you must fall and let it hurt'. Only through pain and experience, can one truly heal, grow and flourish. Yellow Light is a journey of such woes, but it is all an account of courage to stay strong and true, and of love and hope, and passion. Yellow Light is for all whose own path has darkened and yearn for something bright.
S. Elizabeth Cook's fourth volume of poetry follows on from the themes of love and loss explored in her previous collection, Yellow Light. Over the course of two hundred and thirty-four beautifully composed stanzas, Before You Go casts a devastatingly close eye on the nature of love and relationships. S. Elizabeth Cook explores the pain and beauty to be found in moments of deepest intimacy, and searing heartbreak. Her poems weave startlingly frank images of togetherness and isolation, of sensual touch and desolate stillness, of longing and belonging. They occupy the space between sleep and wakefulness: the bittersweet dream that is a life shared with another, and the joy and agony that accompanies it. With a striking lyricism, Before You Go perfectly captures the infinitely varied experience of our devotion to the other halves of ourselves, and indeed to love itself.
King David sings his psalms. A world away, King Henry plots. And courtier Thomas Wyatt sees them both, his beloved falcon Lukkes on his arm.David wants Bathsheba. Henry too must have what he wants. He wants Ann, a divorce, a son. He looks up at his tapestry of David and sees a mighty predecessor who defended his faith and took what he liked. But he leaves it to others to count the costs.Among those counting is the poet Wyatt, who sees a different David, a man who repented before God, in song as in life. This is the version of the biblical king which Wyatt must give voice to as he translates David's psalms.As David pursues Bathsheba, Henry courts Ann, and Wyatt interweaves the past and present.Lux is a story of love and its reach, fidelity and faith, power and its abuses.
