Overview
Summons is a call to speak outāin the face of violence, cruelty, and lossāand a summoning up of the forces of nature and humanity that console.
"The art of prosody, of which Deborah Tall is a master, is a jewelerās art. It is about ascertaining the weight of words, measuring each one of them in turn against silence and time. . . . As we read, line by line, sounds turn into music, words and images grow in meaning. If you believe this is what all poets do anyway, you are wrong. Only the best of them know how to make us reread with increasing pleasure a few lines of poetry."āfrom the foreword by Charles Simic
