Reihe: Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry

This collection of lyrical poems traces the narrative of the loss of love and intellectual powers and a groping towards a new life after a catastrophic illness. The poems describe suffering and the sudden loss of one's prior life and powers, but they also celebrate the gifts that arise from the heart of suffering - the importance of the smallest things and the ability to pay fierce attention to them. ""It might be a blessing, / lying here, learning to see / the light in these trees,"" she writes.
