Description
xThis remarkable collection by an acclaimed poet follows the experiences of a woman whose infant grandson has been diagnosed with cancer. The poet traces the spiritual trial, the battle between hope and despair, that almost consumes her and the child's parents, while in the background, she observes early signs of environmental collapse. Through deftly crafted language that delves unflinchingly into the heart of suffering, Levine helps us to confront the most difficult questions related to our urge for survival and our desire for meaning. Great passages of understanding and insight lift us out of ourselves, disclosing core truths of the terrible and beautiful world in which we live and dream. Winner of the Wolfson Press Poetry Chapbook Prize.
