Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Mary Moore Easter's new collection, her fifth, chronicles the dramatic aftermath of open-heart surgery and the removal of a life-threatening aneurism. She recounts episodes in her healing journey and gradual recovery, and celebrates the sources of inspiration that helped her to return to her dancing self, including a visit with family to ancestral West Africa. Several of the poems are accompanied by QR codes, by means of which readers can listen to Easter sing her songs, reviving the artistic link between her spoken ancestry and the legacy alive in her children and grandchildren. Brash political events also burst onto the page as the larger world becomes immersed in fear and chaos far greater than the threat to the poet's own individual survival. But in the end, this collection celebrates the life and the love that renewed health can make possible. These poems sing, dance, and love, on the edge of the eternal precipice that defines our lifespan. A harrowing open-heart surgery introduce this collection.

These poems sing, dance and love, on the edge of the eternal precipice that defines our lifespan. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
