Paperlight (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781944899998)

Anticipation suspended in the moment before the first kiss. A mother singing to her unborn child. Lovemaking. A child exploring a playground. The aftermath of an argument. The poems in Claudia McGhee's Paperlight invite you into the everyday connections that form, exist, and dissolve between parent and child, lovers, friends. Even though love has no physical weight, and is, in fact, paperlight, these poems share the lived experiences that reveal the infinite weight of love's touch, and its inescapable imprint in our lives.
