Publisher's Synopsis
"Ingrid Hughes' collection of moving and exquisitely clear and direct poems cover a lifetime of love, loss, family, teaching, and political activism. The poems are sharp and clean, giving insights into what one woman experienced around the turn of the twenty-first century. The places we visit in these poems include New York City's Lower East Side, the coast of Maine, and a hospital where a mother is dying. We are at once given intimate sensual details about the world and connected to events far. greater than our private lives"-- Provided by publisher.
