Reviews for Radost, My Red
by Betsy Sholl
...Her English draws into its wide musical range the sounds of Eastern Europe, and the tonalities of her French Catholic childhood. In Theriault's deft hands--or ears--this language once again makes us human, becomes a marvelous lens through which to view our humanity. She sees into the ironies and complexities of our cultural narratives, shows us afresh "the stews and steeps of seasons," and takes us to those rich mysteries that deepen and enlarge our lives.
Sample from Radost, My Red
Old Hat
After we enter your three-room apartment
for the first time, touch lottery tickets
stacked by the black rotary phone, pick up
the battered L’Etranger lying face down
on the rumpled bed, our voices hushed
in this place where you lived and so recently
died, I take your hat from its hook by the door,
take it because of its shape and loneliness,
smooth the felt brim, trace its sweat-stained
silk band, and put it on. I hear you then,
hear the way you used to whistle as you left
the house. So long, you say, and start
whistling again as you head out the door.
