Sometimes the Day Is the Poem <3
But our hearts will need us
To be steady and strong
So we can stand and face the fire
Burning higher and higher
No way over it
No way around it
If we want it
We have to go through it
Fight for a love
And the world tries to break us down
But the world will bend and the fight will end
Love will always win

Praise for Splintered Memories
What a wonderfully honest portrait of an uncertain life. A woman in constant transition, painfully aware of her own aging, her own flaws, handwriting gone from calligraphic to indecipherable, vanity to humility, reason to compulsion, identity to doubt. This poetic narrative of a daughter’s relationship with a mother whose illness has deprived her of memory illuminates the impermanence of things, the relativity of reality, the tenuous nature of memory, perception and personality, whether they are fiction, or fact, or something in between.—Scott Owens
