Whose Names Have Slipped Away

Whose Names Have Slipped Away, published by Finishing Line Press, is poet Kathy Nelson's second chapbook collection of poems. The poems in this collection are meditations on nature observed through the lens of relationship and through the universal experience of impermanence. Poet Tina Barr says that "Kathy Nelson's work ministers to the deep places within us; she explores difficult interpersonal arenas with conviction and courage." Editor and poet Nancy Dillingham calls Kathy Nelson's poems "brilliant distillations of moments in nature … (that) mirror, and become metaphor for, the eternal struggles between daughters and mothers."
