Stronger Than Salmon

Beschreibung

Carol Shamon's poems in this collection have the luminous yet penetrating quality of truth. Her poems reveal the depths of motherhood, marriage, divorce, love, and self-knowledge. Reading these carefully crafted poems, we catch a glimpse of our own search for truth, seen more clearly through her unflinching eyes. In this cycle of poems, the author casts several theme lines: family, aging, prejudice, secrets and even magic. Shamon lets the reader in on the inner strength required to get through this life, and the return to one's source - Home, as it were."I tell myself that I need to remember all I am" guides Shamon's leap of faith into the unknown of multiple losses, each with their own sets of challenges, and the personal triumph of survival in which the reader will ultimately share.
