Description

A deeply personal and moving account of the depression that has plagued Nin’s late years, Shelby explores her darkness and remembers their days of light and promise in a series of reflections that move freely from calm diagnosis through tense moments in search of some rest and calm and hope for a better day.

Fred Chappell says Nin’s Poem “dramatizes the truth that love conquers all in a compelling cascade of monologues, dialogues, and appeals to the powers of nature. The trials of illness can strengthen the hope for hope.”
