Wave If You Can See Me
Description
The running theme through the collection Wave as If You Can See Me is the progression of illnesses resulting in the death of the poet's husband, and fiction writer Scott Ely, from the effects of Agent Orange in Vietnam. Interspersed with these poems are her own explorations -- in part distraction from the pain of watching her husband decline, in part a long-held desire into painting.
