[close] IN THIS MEMOIR, Jane Gilgun shares her life story through poetry. Born in coastal Rhode Island, USA, Jane galloped Sadie Cummings, a race horse, on Narragansett Beach, fished off Beavertail, and tramped through the Spring Woods. Through poetry, she shows how the threads of childhood weave themselves throughout her life as a horsewoman, a nature enthusiast, a woman in love, a social worker, a teacher, and a violence researcher.

Written in imagist, lyric, and narrative styles, these poems convey the rhythms of a life fully lived--the sharp, often painful intrusions of beauty, the transcendence of erotic love, the fears and intrigue of bodily changes over time, the horror of violence, and the warmth and comfort of everyday life.
