Booklist Calls Elizabeth Rosner's Gravity "Daring...Raw...Honest" and "Soulful" in Rave Review

"The wonder, confusion, resentment, and responsibility of being the daughter of Holocaust survivors illuminates and infuses the poetry and prose in Rosner's ardent tribute to her parents and passionate testimony to their mutual persistence in the face of unspeakable misery. Stark imagery of stone and wood lushly juxtaposed with softer glimpses of water, sky, and light underscore the permanence of their experience and reinforce Rosner's ephemeral efforts to cope with the horrors that defined them and threatened to destroy her. So indomitable, so unshakable is this sense of never-escape that even valiant attempts at acceptance, as in 'The Trip,' bring her only minimally closer to understanding. Child is father to the man; her parents' identities are so immersed in Rosner's, and yet her hunger for her own sense of self battles to make itself known, most notably in the dynamic 'Disobedient Child.' Daringly, disarmingly raw and honest, Rosner's potent confrontation of the past and ambivalent acceptance of the present coalesce in a haunting, soulful portrait of grief, memory, belief, and comfort." --Carol Haggas, Booklist
