| The poems in Catherine Sasanov s All the Blood Tethers arise from an ancient， violent， and sacrificial world， a world of Roman Catholicism so embedded in relics， body parts， hair strands， blood spatters， bone， as to seem nearly pagan . . . Like a restorer cleaning a fresco， the poems wipe away layers of piety and orthodoxy to uncover some violent， primal， stark expressiveness， a dream of Eve s original protest . . . The result is a sophisticated poetry of presence realized as image， as dramatic statement， and as a record of mind and heart collaborating in anger， yearning， testimony， grief， and wonder. -- from the Foreword |
