Here's Sharon:
"In one moment
it is over:
In one moment
it is gone.
The morning grows
thin, gray
and our lives—
how they were—
have vanished.Our lives have
changed
when I walk
in on Lizzie
my sister
holding a shotgun.
She fingers the trigger.
Looks up.
My sister.
My sister just looks
up at me.
Touching
the trigger
of that gun.

"Ever since Karen Hesse’s Out of the Dust we have seen an upsurge in ‘verse novels’ and I’ve known friends who will often dismiss a book unread as they say, 'Oh no, I’m not reading another of those.'
"If they do that with Glimpse they will miss out on an amazing reading experience made more intense because of the spare text, the white space and the tight, tight verse.
"Hope and Lizzie are sisters who are amazingly close. Their father got killed in a motorcycle accident when they were very young and their mother is full of pain, blame and often, beer.
"Once, when Hope and Lizzie were almost six and seven, their mother returned after working all night and looked at her girls,
Then she said,
It is your job,
Liz,
to take care of your
little sister.
And you, Hope,
Momma said
her finger pointing like
she meant it,
you take care of Lizzie.
You hear me?
"And with that, she places the responsibility for the sisters squarely on each other’s shoulders (and off of hers).
"It works for quite a while. Hope and Lizzie adore each other, they have a neighbor, Miss Freeman, who looks out for them and who says to their mother, 'Ms. Chapman, I love these girls like they was my own.'
"Glimpse moves back and forth between present (with Lizzie in a mental hospital) and past, showing a happier time and the disintegration of that time, even while Hope doesn’t fully realize what is happening, because Lizzie is still doing her job and taking care of/protecting Hope (and wow, I didn’t realize the significance of her name until I wrote that sentence – Lizzie’s goal is han Add a Comment
