The Words Before They Break - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Lori Atwood Ferrari sees the world with fresh wonder but describes it using the wisdom of scientific principles. This makes reading her poems uniquely rewarding, like the experience of a child looking at museum exhibits through a kaleidoscope. In this set of poems, Atwood Ferrari explores the extraordinary everyday moments that create our experience of death, grief, and relationships. Yet however heavy the subject matter, Atwood Ferrari approaches it with a sense of play, using sound and form to dance across the taboos and boundaries that limit our understanding of life. Thinking about death and loss hurts, and Atwood Ferrari's poems honor and highlight that pain. But they also invite the reader into the feelings of catharsis and excitement that come from sharing those burdens, daring the reader to chance the painful joy of playing with the borderlines that define one's own place within the universe.
