The Wind Blows Through the Doors of My Heart: Poems

By Deborah Digges

Book Overview

Now in paperback, the final, posthumous collection of poems by Deborah Digges- rich stories of family life, nature's bounty, love, and loss--the overflowing of a heart burdened by grief and moved by beauty. When Deborah Digges died in the spring of 2009, at the age of fifty-nine, she left this gathering of poems that captures a stunning gift that prevailed to the end. Here are poems that speak of her rural Missouri childhood in a family with ten children; the love between men and women as well as the devastation of widowhood; the moods of nature; and throughout, touching all subjects, is the call to poetry itself.
