5.0 out of 5 stars Materials of stone, fabric, growth and history 15 April 2010

By Susan Sindall - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

The delicacy of Sue Chenette's descriptions might suggest that these are "delicate" poems. They are quite the opposite. Her subject matter varies: personal history; architecture; landscape; and painting. But each poem' filled with a thoughtful intensity, spoken in a musical voice. My particular favorites are the crown of sonnets, "The Gatine" as well as "Sighting"--and many others. This is a fine collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it, and Read it Again 2 Feb 2010

By Liz Fentress - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Sue Chenette's SLENDER HUMAN WEIGHT is a volume of poetry you'll want to read, and read again, and read again. The superbly crafted poems are an elegant examination of moments large and small for contemporary readers, from "Caribou for Brass Players," celebrating the extraordinary majesty of grand beings bearing horns, to "Hush," a quiet remembrance of time, long-gone, shared with a younger brother. In their honest examination of family dynamics, troubling conversations, and awkward moments, Chenette's poems honor the complexities of human relationships. But Chenette also rejoices in art and nature in her visits to cathedrals, galleries, and rural France. Here are the objects, the characters, the loves, the events, the narratives, and the mysteries of our lives, well observed and beautifully articulated, to say, as Chenette says, "We Were Here."
