...Sensitivity isn’t being wimpy,” Jeff Buckley once declared. “It’s about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom.” While Kathy Nilsson refrains from such gestures of grandiose pomposity, her poems are imbued with a similar ear for the power of the mundane. “The Abattoir” is a chapbook with 23 poems that frequently use the everyday to direct the reader on to more abstract concerns of love, loss, and a decaying spirituality.
