There was an older lover, a professor, and, with another man, an unwanted sexual encounter. That spring, she had an abortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Termination\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of the young woman who made that decision, and of how that act of resistance, then shrouded in fear and silence, has reverberated throughout her life since. Angry, nostalgic, questioning, and romantic, the memoir pursues the associations of memory, moving from the New Haven of Yale Drama School, the Living Theatre and the Black Panthers; to the New York City of theater, jazz, and the Chelsea Hotel; the Berkshires of rock and roll at Tanglewood, and Chicago in the wake of the 1968 Democratic Convention. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFraming the story is a self-portrait of the author fifty-five years later, a woman with a sexual past, a poet who has made her own way. A lyric, searching memoir, \u003ci\u003eA Termination\u003c\/i\u003e asks what it means to write with full honesty about one's life--to explore who we were, and how our choices shape and allow who we become.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHonor Moore is the author of seven books, including the memoirs \u003ci\u003eThe Bishop's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOur Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, a Mother and Daughter at Midcentury\u003c\/i\u003e and three collections of poems.
