The Night I Heard Everything - Paperback

by Diane Kistner (Editor), Mary Carroll-Hackett (Author)

This second full collection of prose poems from Mary Carroll-Hackett traces through a life spent in liminal places, particularly that often shadowy and always sacred realm between life and death, touching on both the isolation and the grace, even the bliss, such an existence can bring. Poems made of love and heartbreaking loss, the collection works toward healing, a reconciliation of soul and self, of body and spirit, of the peace to be found even while walking with a foot in both worlds.
