Inhaltsangabe

"Ironically, as I mend, my energy frayed, I am more alive than I've ever been."When Jonathan Ian Elliott suffered a stroke at age seventy-five, he worried his life would never be the same. And in many ways, it never was. He speech changed. His memory lapsed. His health declined. But he began to realize that for all the stroke had taken from him, it had also given him more than he ever could have imagined.Rebirth. "Real presence." And poetry completely unfiltered, no longer "a shortfall of mindfulness."In this stunning collection, Elliott's poetic voice is more alive than ever as he explores a second chance at life, comes into his age, and embraces the beauty of a life lived in the present.
