After beating breast cancer in her late forties, Eva Saulitis again
faces the shadow, knowing this time the result will not end well.
Saulitis revels in the nostalgia and secret pleasures that come
from knowing it's all fleeting. She searches for answers from
European poets and Buddhist scholars, from women in treatment chat
rooms, from family, from routine; she looks out into the
wilderness, at the salmon dying in the river without the ease of
morphine, at stone structures broken from water freezing, expanding
inside. Becoming Earth is the account of a woman living life in the
presence of death, trying to make sense of a world that will keep
going, even though she won't.
