Emergence

A Woman's Life through Poetry and Motion

Beschreibung

Emergence - A Woman's Life through Poetry and Motion is a graphic memoir that tells the author's life story from her early years into her 80s. Poems range from charming ditties about a beloved rag doll and the skillset for a trapeze artist, to sad stories of the death of a child, and the author's own cancer. Through colorful and compelling photographs, the reader is treated to a bit of Americana that gets lost in this age of technology. You won't find Digital Nomads, but you will encounter generations of people living their lives in joy and creativity. No matter your age, whether you wish to revisit earlier days, are curious about your own future or that of your friends and family, Emergence has something to offer everyone. The party never has to end, though sometimes tears do flow. Join the author and celebrate your own life "through Poetry and Motion."

She continues to refine her skills and sometimes redefine her life.
