"Into Stillness is a death-defying act of language
and imagination. An audacious, fluid living thing."
--Carole Maso, author of Ava
"Cheryl Pallant's poems are remarkably attuned
to the ever changing relationship between
language and the human body. She doesn't
describe experience so much as activate it,
make it move as we move, close to others or
away, close to ourselves or anguished by the
gap between our desires and what we'll let
ourselves know of them. The poems of Into
Stillness are explorations, not explanations, they
are poems of process, of switching, of defeat
and the return from defeat, of dissolution and
the determination, always, to stand where it's
necessary to stand."
