In the shadows, events that should have been celebrations become emotional struggles--the empty nest, children marrying and becoming parents themselves, finding late-life love. Lyrical, emotional, and, in the words of award-winning poet Paisley Rekdal, \"at once carefully wrought and yet full of spontaneity . . . both tough-minded yet fragile,\" the poems in this collection are powerful, graceful, and reveal the conflicting perspectives of a poet of Midwest upbringing who hails from a Kentucky mountain heritage, independent-minded yet vulnerable, a woman struggling to survive a difficult time in history alone in the rural Intermountain West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaula Coomer's fiction, poetry, and non-fiction have appeared in many journals, anthologies, and publications, including \u003ci\u003eGargoyle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Knock\u003c\/i\u003e, and the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eNorthwest Edge\u003c\/i\u003e series from Portland's Chiasmus Press.
