Facets: To Smithereens and Back

By Barbara Rabinowitz

In exploring Facets, you'll share one woman's ricocheting journey to smithereens and back. It's an exhilarating, terrifying ride that's hard on the nerves but unsurpassable in its glimmering vistas and aha moments. This Facets poet lives through unbearable lost love, severely wounded ideals and unrecognized potential to find - through some inexplicable tenacity - renewal and wonder. From almost dissolving into nothingness, she evolves, even gets involved, keeps revolving and finally resolves to continue - if for no other perversity than to see what's next. She holds on to her warped sense of humor, her steadfast, bemused friends and crumpled maps of adventures yet to be. Through 112 poems, she tells her story, a story that needs to be told for all women who find themselves suddenly standing alone in the middle of nowhere with too much baggage stuffed in a translucent suitcase.
