Rebecca Patrascu’s Review in Pedestal
“I don’t have a body, just a voice” and in this work you will hear the powerful and resonant voice of the poet Scott Ferry. In this collection, we learn how to “heal the incisions from the inside”. The poems in these pages examine the life of a husband and father, through the eyes of the child and simultaneously, the view of the parent. All the while, taking the reader on the journey of family trips, the red earth, sweeping moons, and train tracks covered with blackberry vines. Ferry is expert at “opening the gates within the gates” both inside the mind and beyond. There is much to absorb in this exquisite collection, if we listen closely, we can hear that “there is music on the black waters”
—Connie Post, author of Between Twilight and Broken Metronome
