“Athena Kildegaard’s collection carries us into a series of enfoldings and unfoldings, working through a spiral of memory and language. In Rare Momentum, we are delighted to find ourselves inside a shape that can hold everything from a sparrow’s nest to the planets beyond the sun. This series of poems questions and recommends perfection; it invites us into a long contemplation of how both darkness and light forward us on our way.”
