In her first volume of poetry, novelist Sarah Strong celebrates
silence and what can be learned when we wait and listen. In this
stillness, she shows us, we may hear answers to questions we have
learned not to ask. Exploring how our subtlest gestures speak our
most passionate concerns, she maps the intricacies of body-the
fingers of a hand, the work of breathing-with the same dexterity
she investigates what inspires a mother to demolish a kitchen wall
or a lover to change genders. Strong also examines spiritual
experience-in Buddhist practice, in re-imagined biblical
narratives, and in the details of daily life. Formally alert and
often funny, Tour of the Breath Gallery relies on the music of
everyday speech as it charts the interplay of the domestic and the
sublime with a wise and generous grace. Sarah Pemberton Strong is
also the author of the novel, The Fainting Room (Ig Publishing,
2013) and the novel, Burning the Sea (Alyson Books, 2002).
