At Big Other, John Madera reviews Claire Donato’s Burial:
Writes Madera:
Burial impresses for its tonal consistency, its freely associative observations, its profound-while-still-detached expressions of deeply embedded emotions, its commanding control of various energetic tensions, between openness and closure, clarity and ambiguity, knowledge and incomprehension. This is the thinking that occurs around the so-called unthinkable, what is spoken about the so-called unspeakable.
