the crossroad: poems

＂Life is made of little and big crossroads, where decisions we make change our world. Some, like leaving a loveless marriage and taking your young children to build another home in a hostile world, are truly weighty and earth-shattering.... The Crossroad is a journey through memory that examines bold choices, small moments, the recurrent nature of grief, and the many kinds of love that a life might hold, as the poet reckons with the decisions she has made and moves into a new wholeness.＂ -Jeremy Paden, author of World As Sacred Burning Heart

The poems in The Crossroad explore memory, loss, the nature of our irredeemably human existence. Like Our Town, these poems see the timeless in the everyday. They remind us to pay attention to the details of our fleeting lives.The Crossroad is one woman’s journey, every woman’s journey.
