I believed the only thing of his that was mine, was his name. Something came onto the screen I had never seen before, a blurry facsimile of his death certificate. Some of it was legible. He died in San Francisco in 1970. That was a complete surprise. There was clearly more information on the screen image, but I couldn't make it out. Writing to the California Board of Health I requested a paper copy. They needed to know my relationship to the deceased. Writing in the word daughter in relation to my father was a unique experience. The paper certificate soon arrived. Everything on the document other than the date of his birth and his profession was a surprise. Suddenly I owned more than his name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a parent goes missing how do we shape and fill the empty space?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd how do we shape and create ourselves from our missing parents?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A Pot from Shards, a memoir, explores absence, imagination, movement, dance, language, psychoanalysis, love, death and the creation of a life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joan Wexler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949093328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949093322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ipbooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Joan Wexler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052967227647,"sku":"9781949093322","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f75f188d-803e-47d9-af60-9e9767fb4b62.jpg?v=1685021640","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-pot-from-shards-joan-wexler-9781949093322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
