Hear you find poems that are conduits for healing by finding connection with nature, especially the snow, as flurries act as more than just a backdrop. The poet shares her recognition of beauty in the midst of grief and sorrow, where the cold, snow, and the delicacy of the human heart are unfolded and absorbed into life's milieu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEARLY PRAISE: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her opening poem, \"Adaptation,\" Sorensen writes, The neurosurgeon instructs me.
