Three sections of new poems join the best of the previous works by the Notre
Dame professor emerita of English. The death of her father, her mother's descent into the mists
of Alzheimer's and the struggles with belief highlight the new poems that showcase the author's
lyrical voice, a voice the Midwest Book Review calls "deeply searching, fresh and shot through with light and images. . . . It will lead you to wondrous places."
Other poems in the volume are from Brief Lives, Women at Forty and A Breeze
Called the Fremantle Doctor.
