Awaiting Creation

By Gail Kadison Golden

Book Overview

In lyrical and compelling language, Gail Golden explores the beauty of the everyday world, the mythology of ancient texts, and the overarching importance of human relationships. "In their wisdom and joy, the poems of Awaiting Creation teach us that, somehow, 'the tale keeps on telling itself.' Gail Golden reminds us of stories . . . that yield new meanings as we find the courage to hear them anew and tell them again." Peter Donaldson, Professor of Literature, MIT "Gail Golden's poetry is a tribute to memory, a fluent, evocative thesis on the inextricability of body and soul. . . . Objects hum with a new, musical insistence, emphasizing Golden's distinct voice . . . singing her poetry against the noise of the world." Mary Stewart Hammond, author of Out of Canaan "You will discover here, in Awaiting Creation, stories both ancient and contemporary . . . all voiced by a poet whose modesty and restraint belie her power." Honor Moore, author of Darling
