The Woman Who Died in Her Sleep Book

Linda Gregerson writes with a quiet power and a subtle musicality about perseverance, suffering, grace, and hope in the face of disease and mortality. Mark Strand calls her work "among the very best being written." In "The Resurrection of the Body," Gregerson paints a scene of love and determination at her child's physical therapy clinic. As one mother wipes drool from her daughter's mouth, Gregerson writes: "The mother would give her soul to see / this child lift her head on her own." These poems conjure such relationships with a balance of the graceful and the elemental.Read More

  • Product Description

    Mark Strand called these poems "among the very best being written." Bravely exploring the ways in which we encounter mortality, they emphasize the resourcefulness of the human spirit, the intelligence of the body, the abundant beauty of the created world. Devotional, even celebratory in their cadence, they move with the gravity of high art.
