Winner of the 2019 Lexi Rudnitsky Editor’s Choice Award, this sensuous collection bravely endeavors to share the wisdom age confers. In Shoreless, her fifth collection of poetry, Enid Shomer continues to explore her passionate relationship with the Florida landscape, the inextricable web of family, and the challenges of the body. While studded with the austere recognitions of growing older, these poems are punctuated by humor and play—formally elegant and inventive, beautifully textured and nuanced. Throughout the book, Shomer employs the language of science and Eros to uncover the exquisite truths of pain and pleasure.

His days of suffering expanded to years. Sometimes Augi wasn’t strong. Often his walking was affected by fatigue. Yet he plodded on. Yet he lived. He persevered to a great degree by adjusting to lack. His military training doubtless assisted, but it was Augi’s unstoppable faith that provided his pipeline to hope. Toward the end of his most severe skirmish with discouragement, Augi employed a revival tactic. He renamed himself, “Gepeto’s Michaelangelo.” I asked Augi what the name meant to him. His reply? “God’s Masterpiece.” Then he smiled. The puppet poem is enchanting. It describes Augi’s relationship with the Almighty : “And how I love that tender hand that moves me with each winding strand.” Again Augi generates hope for himself and other via verse. Revived, Augi braces himself to fight again. Along the line he stops questioning why and accepts his lot as a warrior. He formulates his victory plan.
