Now I Live Among Old Trees

Poems

Beschreibung

"The author addresses the issues of illness, dying, and death's aftermath from a variety of perspectives, sometimes grieving, then raging, and more than occasionally celebrating the passing days that remain vital and even joyous. She probes the pain and power of memory as she reflects on her husband's battle with ALS and her own serious bout of cancer. Elements of resignation, and also consolation, inspire some of the lyric pieces, giving then a gentle, prayerful tone"--
