Poetry. "With a delicacy of language and craft, Denise Bergman creates and recreates the life of Annie Sullivan, her early years, her passions for light and its textures in spite of her ever-present darkness. The poems evoke a life of hope as well as incredible courage. Bergman's extraordinary poems translate darkness into light"--Marjorie Agosin. "SEEING ANNIE SULLIVAN approaches sight on multiple levels. One sees--quite literally, in beautiful poetic evocation--this great teacher's early years. One sees as she saw and as she taught her famous pupil to see: substituting sensibility for vision and channeling life's need and energy into an all but impossible task. These poems are marvelous and their composite a gift"--Margaret Randall.
