Produktbeschreibung
Laura Chagnon's twelfth book of poetry, Always Together, is a profound testament to her remarkable resilience and unwavering spirit. On the evening of her 26th birthday in 1989, Laura's life took a dramatic turn when she was brutally attacked and left for dead on the steps of the New England Medical Center. What could have been a night of devastating loss instead became the start of a transformative journey. After spending nearly five weeks in a coma, Laura awoke as a legally blind quadriplegic. Rather than succumbing to despair, she emerged from the darkness with a new gift-the gift of poetry. Doctors initially wanted to institutionalize Laura, but she spent four years in rehabilitation, proving them wrong as she rebuilt her life. Throughout this journey, Laura embraced her unique perspective, even forgiving her unknown attackers, saying, "I'd gladly trade my legs in exchange for the ability to write poetry." Over the past 28 years, she has written more than 6,000 poems, crafting verse from dawn to dusk. Her soulmate Tom affectionately calls her a "poetry machine," as her creativity knows no bounds. Following the success of her debut book Never Touched a Pen and her second collection Accepting the Waltz, Laura has continued to inspire readers through her work. Always Together, her twelfth volume, showcases the depth of her talent and the remarkable power of her spirit. Each poem reflects the journey of a woman who, despite immense challenges, has found peace, purpose, and beauty in the world around her. Laura Chagnon, often hailed as the Poet Laureate of Massachusetts, invites readers to experience the beauty, resilience, and love woven into her life and her work.
