I wish this wise woman had been able to read Nature's heirogliphs well enough to not to fly the return trip that would prove to be the last for her and her daughter, Bess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e We are fortunate to have this volume, which in earlier drafts had won golden opinions from master poets Frank Bidart, Henri Cole, Amy Gerstler and Jean Valentine. The esteemed vocalist and musician, Anne Heaton, had collaborated with Claire, using the \"Dora\" poems of this book for the lyrics to her 2014 CD, \"DORA.\" It was another artistic project Claire would not see come to fruition, but there was joy in the making of it and it is uncanny the way the words and music mirrored the journeys of self discovery for both women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Claire earned her Master's Degree in Poetry from the Bennington MFA Program, Bennington, VT in 2008. Poetry was her first love, though she was a Master of Fine Arts, self validated, in photography, dress making, metal sculpture and books as objet d'art, so her artistic life was as well lived as was her personal life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book celebrates all the color, shadow and light and love of language that possessed Claire Clube, and it is the creation and testament of a born poet, who lived the life and paid the price too soon. May it be a worthy monument, to be read and treasured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Claire Clube\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936711435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936711437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Railroad Street Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.22d","brand":"Claire Clube","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930904772863,"sku":"9781936711437","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_186aa0f6-2454-4ec6-a88f-86a2e127c63a.jpg?v=1766345088","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/changelings-omen-birds-claire-clube-9781936711437","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
