Among poems about the unspoken and unseen, CPR Vol. 23, Issue 6 features poems about strength: the fear and bravery in “Ending in Both Darkness and Light” by Andrea Hollander, the “killer storms” in “Close Calls” by John Palen, and the mandatory evacuations caused by fire season in “House above our Hands” by Millicent Borges Accardi. “Dancing at Home” by Laton Carter reminds us of what it means to be alone in such moments: “No one may ever know your deepest sorrow, / but it cannot stop a hand from reaching out.”
