Poetry that explores both the history of places and how language's living presence becomes an inhabitant of locales as well. Poet Elizabeth Dodd's world stretches from the lightless cave home of an eyeless, transparent fish known as a blindcat to the imagination of painter Georgia O'Keeffe. In this brilliantly crafted new collection, Dodd reveals her mastery of the medium-her closely observed images, compelling metaphors, and deep understanding and sympathy for the natural world, the rhythms of geologic time, and the seasons of the living year. Dodd possesses the rare gift that links the vagaries of the human experience with the mysterious truths of universal life, the vastness of the night sky with the equally vast potentials of the human heart. These are poems to be savored, treasured, and never forgotten.

"Elizabeth Dodd's voice is the voice of a land, its living inhabitants, its histories, its stone, its weather. The poems in Archetypal Light bear stendy and attentive witness to the concrete specifics of these earthly elements and to the dreams and visions they suggest. 'Imagine the earth as self-elegy, memory articulated...' Dodd suggests. With salt marsh, cedar, harrier, elk, blue mussel, rock climbers, pioneers, and other astonishing panoplies of life, these poems pursue the way of that imaginative stance and discover the expansive heart of themselves in the journey."-Pattiann Rogers"
