Brenner offers echoes we can hear and watch in a pond; echoes in an intimate, generational diaspora. Reading her lines draws you into a raw, well-lived life, honoring both her joy and her struggles. She waves us into a quiet room, letting us light candles to our own struggles. She waves us in to offer hope. From grandma's laughter to rock and roll lived in real time. From robins flirting behind her house to scarred teen-aged hearts. This work offers powerful lines, beauty, and wisdom.

Rosalind Brenner is a canny and beautiful poet, who lays bare her heart and history in order to arrive at the truth for us all.

From page to page, we move across and through a spectrum of women's lives-until we come to a place of stillness. These poems offer realness. These poems offer hope.
