These are quiet, intimate, witty conversational poems addressing
how the human heart forgets itself under personal injury and the
stinging justice of misery, and then, in the poignancy of
remembering itself, is reborn again, unyielding, ready for "another
waltz at the window, one more dance." If pain is "unresurrected"
truth, then healing is "coming back to familiar spots to remember"
a world we forgot existed or that we never even expected. Read this
book and let your heart be healed.

changing my plan," said Tom. "I hope it works." The crowd starts
chanting. Ten, nine, eight, seven. Sweat forms on Tom's brow. He
