"Leave the taste of heaven free from its hell--
a blur, a bluebird flash inside
the self-made morn."


—excerpt from Poem XIII



What people are saying about
In the Understory of Her Being

This is dream language, like being given a glimpse of a secret interior world that has some counterpoint in the actual physical world. There are certain interior landscapes—emotional, psychological, carnal—that are possibly hostile, possibly ecstatic, and equally unknown. Christine Weeber has given us the map. Her poems point the way toward a view where love is not only the distant star, it’s the welcoming shore. Her poems are mysterious, mystical, desperate at times, a whole world reflected as love. The poems contain beautiful and elegant language, deep with feeling, unleashed emotion, and expectations that are
fully realized.
Burt Rashbaum, author of Blue Pedals

Christine Weeber's images and poetry surely have a Nerudian influence or presence. Weeber, however, projects an authentic attitude that explores the often silent voice or unwritten sighs of the one beloved in Pablo Neruda's love. With a deep awareness of her existence, an intense passion for life, and the strong agency of her intimate poetic confessions, Weeber's verses embody a voice that is fuller and more personable, with a magnetic humility and deep care for language. Those who love the very early and late Neruda will sense the influence, but will be moved in ways that are more pleasantly mystifying.
Moisés Park, author of Y el verso cae al aula

Come to me,
     as you have,
    in the night of your soul--

   ...

 Let what time tenders
     and destroys go.

Ven a mí,
      como lo has hecho,
   en la noche de tu alma--
 
  ...
 
Libera lo que el tiempo
      entrega y destruye.
