Internally clean and free of markings. // 'These lyrical poems map one woman's life after her exodus from a twenty year marriage.

The poems trace a reconstruction of self from a narrow, limited space through a metaphorical desert towards joy.' -- publisher.

Narrow Bridge
Signed
Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. From the private library of noted poet Richard Osler, warmly inscribed by the author on the title page. A Near Fine copy with minimal shelfwear and an uncreased spine. Internally clean and free of markings. // '' All the world is a narrow bridge,' states Rabbi Nachman of Bresnov. ' The important thing is not to be afraid at all.' These poems, Barbara Pelman's third collection, explore bridges both real and metaphoric: the bridge connecting Denmark to Sweden where her family lives; the bridges she has travelled across Europe; and the bridges we build through words and actions to overcome our separateness from one another. The poet writes about lovers, mothers, daughters, ex-husbands, grandchildren, and her attempts to construct solid foundations for the heart to travel easily across time and space. Pelman writes of her love of landscapes and the things in them, and the everyday epiphanies that happen in one's backyard. These are poems that explore the tension between living in one place but wanting to be in another, the losses and freedoms contained in solitude, the process of learning to age gracefully. The act of writing, Pelman says, is itself a talisman against fear, a mantra of boldness and courage to live con spirito.' -- publisher.

A Brief and Endless Sea (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Caitlin Press, Saint George, 2024
ISBN 10: 1773861255 ISBN 13: 9781773861258
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Born out of waiting out the lockdown during the early days of the pandemic, Barbara Pelman's A Brief and Endless Sea explores a life in retrospect, beginning with a high school typing class and ending with the Angel Purah, cutting the ties that bind a soul to a body. Many of the poems in this collection are rooted in Jewish tradition: the prophet Isaiah's words of comfort; the rabbinical story of the Lost Princess, that angel and her counterpart, the Angel Duma. Pelman takes us to difficult placesthe dissolution of a marriage, caring for a parent with dementia. But she doesn't leave us there, waiting. Using the power of words to map a route out, A Brief and Endless Sea pulls us toward life in all of its vibrant detailsthe simple beauty of a small garden of tomatoes and roses, the pleasures of teaching poetry, long walks with a grandson, and encounters with spirituality. For Pelman, there is comfort in the making of a poem and in the "smallest life you can love." Like the glosa form she turns to often, something small transforms into something larger, expansive. In A Brief and Endless Sea, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and waiting in itself presents fertile ground for hope and possibility. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
