Between the Years - Paperback

by Lynn Cohen (Author)

Evocative details about family, friends, writers and landscapes make Lynn Cohen's Between the Years vibrant and moving. Her landscapes are filled with memories that balance between nostalgia and revelation, as we journey with the poet through the cycle of searching, finding, losing, and recovering. Loss and aging dance with youth and fulfillment, creating poems of lyrical intensity and surprise. Look for "Affairs are not for the Faint Hearted," "Gretchen," "Colossus," and "City of Glass." Lynn's poems remind us that an epic unfolds between birth and death.
