All That Lies Between Us: 153 (Essential Poets series) - Tapa blanda

"These poems are powerful in their honesty: their passion and their grief. They take us deep into the labyrinth of our humanity and - in the face of loss and death - show us the paradox of love in the center of our being" -- Diane di Prima.

Constructed in the form of a memoir, these poems take on an emotional tone as the author details the story of her life. The collection is populated by her memories of childhood, courtships and marriage, family illness, children, and grandchildren. At its core is a woman struggling to deal with all the complexities of love and the difficulties of achieving compassion and tenderness in the face of adversity. Brave, honest, and beautiful, these poems shed new light on what it means to be human.
