description: This collection honors Nicki Jackowska's long intimacy with the written and spoken word. She moves between loss and celebration, weaving poems from personal and social roots with insight, subtlety, and humor. Few poets have met with such spirit the complexities of love, the world's violence, shadow and redemption, nor achieved so agile and resonant a poetic voice. This collection draws from her five previous books and includes a selection of new poems.
