Produktbeschreibung
This book gently probes the ravages and the comforts of the aging process and the softly pokes at the emotional landscape changes within the mind that happen on the journey into and through the senior years. These poems reflect change and endurance and their relationship to each other and the spirit. Life is filled with many tiny moments that are often paid little attention to, but Jenoff brings these seemingly insignificant moments to the forefront where they can shine for a few seconds and spin the reader into a memory of their own that has almost been forgotten. Marvyne Jenoff's deep understanding of human nature's ups and downs, joys and trepidations is ever prevalent throughout the book as she weaves a pathway and gently shines a light into the hazy corners and dusty closets encountered on our own separate journeys as we travel life's winding road. This is a balanced look into NOW and THEN as the sections in the book suggest. Readers will find themselves recalling memories and reliving magic moments from yesteryear as they read the lines and then read between the lines to find their own truths; their own inner selves. She deftly wields both the soft and sharpened edge of her pen in harmony with the subject matter presented in each poem. Jenoff shows us the colour of the weather and allows us to climb the rain of our own private world with a greater sense of being and our place in the cosmos of body, mind and spirit.
