Broken Cup brings breathtaking eloquence to what Margaret Gibson
describes as ""traveling the Way of Alzheimer's"" with her husband,
poet David McKain. After his initial and tentative diagnosis,
Gibson suspended her writing for two years; but then poetry
returned, and the creative process became the lightning rod that
grounded her and presented a path forward. The poems in Broken Cup
bear witness to how Alzheimer's erodes memory and cognitive
function, but they never forget to see what is present and to ask
what may remain of the self. Moving and unflinchingly honest in the
acknowledgment of pain, frustration, and grief, the poems uncover,
time and time again, the grace of abiding love. Gibson gives heart
as well as voice to an experience that is deeply personal, yet
shared by all too many.
