Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. An imaginative reworking of the elegy that focuses on the difficult work of being with the dying.At the heart of The Cloud Path, celebrated author Melissa Kwasny?s seventh collection of poetry, lies the passing of her beloved mother: the caretaking, the hospice protocols, the last breath, the aftermath.

The Cloud Path glimmers with nature?s many lively colors?the ?burnt orange? of foxes, ?cedar / bark cast in the greenest impasto,? white swans intertwined.

The shapes of clouds, cattle bones by the river. ?Why not,? she asks, ?believe it matters?Evocative and wrenching, The Cloud Path compels us to consider the whole of living and dying. An elegant juxtaposition of personal and planetary loss, these keen and tender poems teach us to see afresh in the lateness of things.…
