Summary:	Laden, unsparing, and luminous, the poems in Courtney Kampa?s Our Lady of Not Asking Why are acts of faith in language?s capacity to articulate the most fundamental, and crucial, human truths. Even when faced with ?something we haven?t words for,? which is not infrequently the case, Kampa?s poetry?with its layers of hypotaxis, metaphor, metanoia, and paradox (?It wants to want / for nothing, which it does, but also wants / a purpose, which it has already?)?rises to the occasion by diving down into it, making the reach for the everyday ineffable (mysteries of the heart, of the past; the inner lives of others) as graceful, and gorgeous, as it is inseparable from leading a fully human life. ?There are loaves and fishes / inside us,? she writes. ?There are whole vineyards / we?ll never see.? Our Lady of Not Asking Why is a testament to the poet?s refusal not to try to see them anyway?and to the way she somehow, through the effort, lays what?s inside us bare.  Read more...
