Losing and Finding

By Karen Fiser

Winner of the Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry, 2003. This collection of lyrical poems traces the narrative of the loss of love and intellectual powers and a groping towards a new life after a catastrophic illness. The poems describe suffering and the sudden loss of one's prior life and powers, but they also celebrate the gifts that arise from the heart of suffering--the importance of the smallest things and the ability to pay fierce attention to them.
