Silence, The Breaking of It - Paperback

by Sheila Rosen (Author)

In this compelling poetic work, Sheila Rosen explores a vibrant childhood among the interned Japanese in small town BC, young love and loss, and a vision of the larger world that is both spiritual and deeply human."Each of Sheila Rosen's poems quivers with sounds and songs from the heart. She speaks of 'bliss' as a small moist word. She speaks of train tracks being taken up, but here she lays them down again from the gleaming trails and transports of her perceptive life." Luci Shaw, Writer in Residence, Regent College. Author, Harvesting Fog, Scape "These poems fling the reader deeply into the mystical and cosmological without losing touch with the everyday, the place where 'some great flammable heart' always wants us to see 'possibility, ever imagining.'" Susan McCaslin, Canadian poet, Faculty Emeritus of Douglas College, Author, The Disarmed Heart, Into the Mystic: My Years with Olga
