title: Remorseless Loyalty (Richard Snyder Publication)
author:  Christine Gelineau 
description: REVIEWS: "Christine Gelineau has what I think of as sinew in her writing. There is a fine exactness as well as a beautiful contemplative quality that informs her poems. This is work with depth to it yet she has a delightful sense of the absurd which sometimes sparks through the serious themes she addresses." -Ruth Stone "Gelineau writes with skill and passion about mortality in its several forms; her mother's death, putting down a young filly, the loss of childhood innocence, the evanescence of 'spring again/ that old chicanery, ' the potato famine's 'wasted/ waiting children, mouths strained green/ with grass.' These are mature, coherent poems full of energy and underscored with love." -Maxine Kumin "One of poetry's tasks is to encounter pain. Not to resolve it, not even to console it. But to encounter it with a language that will let it be known, and in this knowing some transformation, however small, may happen. The poems in Remorseless Loyalty bristle with such hard-won transformations." -Eamon Grennan
