Publisher's Synopsis
What is one to do with a lifetime of stress? What, with an eternity? In this short collection of poetry, C. Louise brings together the divine and the mortal, the dream and the dreamer, the laborer and the masterpiece, to discuss what ever one might do with a broken heart. There is a taste of wrath toward the conquistador who sees the immortal womb of the earth in dollar signs - the shudder imposed by the chill of abandonment - and a hastily given smile, heartfelt but brief, for the one who will put the pieces back together.From her love of physics and the discourse of perspective, to her keen understanding of politics and the quiet struggle of being human in times of racially-charged warfare, C. Louise imbues each poem with the seed of a dream, offering her audience a glimpse not only into her own mind, but out into the dark cosmos where we might find our own divinity.
