One
of poetry’s tasks is to encounter pain. Not to resolve it,
not even to console it. But to encounter it with a language that
will let it be known, and in this knowing some transformation,
however small, may happen. The poems in Remorseless Loyalty
bristle with such hard-won transformations.

Gelineau
writes with skill and passion about mortality in its several forms
. . . These are mature, coherent poems full of energy and underscored
with love.

Gelineau has what I think of as sinew in her writing.
This is work with depth to it yet she has a delightful sense of
the absurd which sometimes sparks through the serious themes she
addresses.
