What can only be described as another amazing and beautifully written collection by Andrea Hollander Budy, this second book of poetry explores the intricacies of the family, the duality of a domestic and artistic life, the trying pain of illness, and the triumph of endurance, in precise lyrics and celebratory meditations. Andrea Hollander Budy won the Nicholas Roerich Poetry Prize for her first collection of poems, House Without a Dreamer, published by Story Line in 1993. She has received fellowships from the NEA, the Arkansas Arts Council, and both the Wesleyan and Bread Loaf Writers' Conferences. She lives and teaches in Mountain View, Arkansas.
