A Break in the Journey
A Break in the Journey
by Anne Haverty
Infused with love, pathos, history and ideas, A Break in the Journey, Anne Haverty’s new collection, is a moving exploration of the many kinds of journeys on which life takes us. Haverty has travelled great distances in intellectual curiosity as well as in the world and traces her tracks with superb eloquence, simplicity and a piercing humanity. With skill, grace and a masterful lightness of touch, these poems shimmer and float in the imagination long after the final page.

Reviews
“Here is a poet who has the savoir-faire, the sophistication, and accomplishment to let the poem be, and, quite magically, when she does, the lines linger, like a memory, or a melody with a delicate, but persistent music, even if and when, her, or our, eyes shut ‘to the mockery of white’.”
