Bialer's poem Maze takes the reader on a circuitous expedition exploring memories, reflections and shifting time and place. Compelling lines and phrases resurface over and again serving as a drumbeat egging the reader deeper into Bialer's journey of love for and loss of his wife. Facts and memories link "bandits and burial grounds' in Tombstone, Arizona to the Siege of Sarajevo, illuminating how painful the mere act of remembering can be. "Memories are like snipers". With the knowledge that life is fleeting, Maze keenly succeeds at reminding the reader of the sacredness of living in the present moment.

In his beautiful and poignant elegy Maze poet Matt Bialer summons loving memories of his late wife Lenora to conjure the strain of Covid and politics, turning angst and sorrow into a song of life.
