The Recovery House Book

The poems in The Recovery House take the reader on a journey that is both surprising and familiar. Due to a genetic condition, the poet anticipates one loss (that of her hearing), but is given another in the dissolution of her twenty two year marriage. The connection between loss and beauty is highlighted, while nature provides a ballast. The Recovery House encourages us to keep going; to grieve/be joyful/pour the tea.... the redbud blossoms are in the future again!

I can finally see the birds
