Word pictures from a woman's soul: Since the age of twelve, Mary Borhek has been involved with words, either writing her own or editing the words of others. A shattering mid-life divorce opened her to new depths of seeing, and in time, as she writes, a spring opened up within her. Words formed into poems. Before that, prose had been her medium. In these poems we meet a woman who has lived a long and fruitful life. She shares with the reader glimpses of her struggles, her wisdom, her appreciation of beauty, so that she can write, from experience,"Out of the dark loam of suffering, a white narcissus blooms."
