Publisher's Synopsis
In this collection of poems, Holly Norton navigates the terrain of grief and excavates the treasures that may be found there, exploring memories of loss in childhood, womanhood, and middle age to arrive at the destination of acceptance and culminate in a life fully lived. Norton describes experiences that defined her relationships with those most influential in her life, parents, a sibling, lovers, and the profound self-discovery that resulted. In lyrical lines Norton sings songs that carry the reader through image after image of loss and recovery.
