<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Voigt's language dares to stir the dead, to remind us that we are temporary survivors.--Geoffrey Wolff<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this mosaic of sonnets, her fifth collection, Ellen Bryant Voigt takes on a monumental challenge: to conjure up the influenza pandemic of 1918-19, a little-recorded event that killed 25 million worldwide, half a million in America alone. <em>The Nation</em> calls <em>Kyrie</em> an astonishing collection . . . so spare and tightly woven, yet so mindful of the cadences of the speaking voice, that the poems read like verse drama.<br /><br /> Starting with the family, Voigt creates voices that gather into one vast community story, a true tour de force (<em>Boston Sunday Globe</em>) that speaks to our own time of plague.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[M]ajestic. . . . Voigt inhabits, rather than simply 'tells, ' the story of this great, but largely neglected epilogue to the Great War.<br>
