The poems in Andrea Cohen\u2019s Nightshade<\/em>, her sixth full-length collection, are constructed from the wisdom that comes from loss. Cohen builds a short poem the way a master carpenter does a tiny house, in lines that are both economical and precise, with room enough for sorrow and wit to exist comfortably together. The great pleasure in reading these poems is their surprise and the startling truths they build to: The bride whose dress is sewn \u201cfrom a hundred\/tattered flags\/of surrender\u201d and the ever-present reminder of the title poem that the world “trades in\/poison and \/in balms. We\/call it bitter- \/sweet\u2013\u2013what\/living isn\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n

Divison Of<\/strong><\/p>\n

You took the painting
\nof the girl on the stair.<\/p>\n

You left the stair.
\nYou took the nail<\/p>\n

on which the girl
\nin a pink haze hung.<\/p>\n

You left the hole
\nin horsehair plaster\u2013\u2013<\/p>\n

and the crumbling
\nthat comes after.<\/p>\n
