"How many close calls before we become ghosts?" wonders the author of this collection, where she reflects upon her experiences--emotional, relational and spiritual--during her partner's yearlong battle with a life-threatening illness. Threaded throughout these poems is the presence of the natural world--always a source of solace, but now more acutely and deeply felt.
