The Size of Our Bed

Following the arc of a womans life, The Size of Our Bed begins with the title of its last poem, Letter to a Dead Husband about the Size of Our Bed. The remaining poems traverse their past, the narrators future. Divided into sections from childhood and family, marriage, illness and death, recovery, acceptance and strengthcontrasted with warThe Size of Our Bed offers poetry that is generous yet unflinching, personal, sometimes ironic and intense, yet resound with a reverence for both the joys and betrayals of life. These are poems of hard won wisdom and insight. They are emotionally introspective, even transformative. Not all questions are answered.
