The Woman Who Died in Her Sleep
Linda Gregerson writes with a quiet power and a subtle musicality about perseverance, suffering, grace, and hope in the face of disease and mortality.Mark Strandcalls her work "among the very best being written." In "The Resurrection of the Body," Gregerson paints a scene of love and determination at her child's physical therapy clinic. As one mother wipes drool from her daughter's mouth, Gregerson writes: "The mother would give her soul to see / this child lift her head on her own." These poems conjure such relationships with a balance of the graceful and the elemental.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
