Pop-Up Shrines

What happens when the balance shifts from health to sickness after we pledge in sickness and in health? POP-UP SHRINES explores how illness and disability coexist with "new rooms" of discovery and resilience. The poems in this collection make room for it all. Wheelchairs and pill bottles. Cougars and herons. Table salt made from human tears. This lyrical exploration of love, loss and change celebrates the sacred moments and common objects that form our imperfect, everyday lives, illuminating life's "dark corners feathered in wonder."
