And Luckier (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781936628568)

Here's a book about the adjustment to age, the imperfections in the world,
loss and what it makes of a person, and the poet as an "absentee Nana," her
grandchild living far away. What does it mean, in a climate changed world,
to pass the "stiff diorama" of degraded farmland to a scattered family?
Kendrick valiantly copes with not having all the answers in And Luckier. Her
combination of melancholy and gratitude provides all we can't know of life
and its endings with a majestic understanding.
