Item description from seller

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.
