Leave No Wake

5/5 ( ratings)

In Marie Gauthier’s long-awaited first collection, we are greeted by lyric intimacies, wistful weather, stunning turns of phrase, and the deep comfort of domestic scenes. With its earthy autumnal edge, Leave No Wake offers a meditation on family, illness, and loss, and how the scale of celebrating subtle moments and life’s “small economies” almost always shifts toward grief. Gauthier’s deft hand sketches portraits of the rhythm inherent in rural landscapes, where “snow falls // in longhand” even among “a whole trove / of darkness and dreads-to-be,” as the book’s smooth movement through inspired waters reminds us that life’s inevitable fade seems “a Polaroid in reverse.” Leave No Wake is the debut of a true talent.

—Jennifer Militello, author of The Pact
