Left-Handed Poetry

Left-Handed Poetry weaves poems of pain and healing through a traumatic accident involving the poet as pedestrian, and a vehicle. It combines both the medical and emotional experience of being hit by a car. From on the pavement to learning how to write with a non-dominant hand, this collection takes us on a poet's passage from tragedy to hope. She learns how to function effectively from her non-dominant right-brain and offers small pearls reflecting on both life and death from the hemispheric opposite lens of her usual daily routines. Left-Handed Poetry was a finalist for the Hunger Mountain May Day Chapbook series.
