Draw Me Without Boundaries

Powerful love between a grandmother and a granddaughter animates the voices in this poignant series of inner monologues set against the backdrop of global climate crisis and the COVID pandemic. Margaret Gibson’s Draw Me without Boundaries lays bare the integrity and depth of inquiry it takes to make life and death choices in a broken world. This luminous book--innovative, suspenseful, deeply moving--reflects in conjoined poetry and prose the profound issues of our time.
