Synopsis

In this eighteenth volume of Diane Marquart Moore's poetry, she explores the lives and departures of loved ones—the many family passings... writing: "their points of departure felt...the faces appearing often enough...[leaving] enough of themselves with me." Among the faces are departed teachers and musicians, including jazz musician "Bird" Parker and Amédé Ardoin, Cajun singer and accordionist. The poignant, sometimes sardonic poems portray ordinary as well as extraordinary people who have left their unforgettable imprint and helped form the poet's life.
