Award-winning poet Catherine Marenghi brings us a profoundly visceral collection of love poems ranging from sensual to playful, ecstatic to mournful, provocative to plain-speaking, all written from the perspective of what Dante calls "halfway through the walk of life." The author of
Glad Farm: A Memoir, Breaking Bread: Poems,
and the historical novel
Our Good Name
has returned to her first love, poetry, with this moving new collection. Catherine's works have been published in literary journals worldwide. She has won first-place honors in poetry contests judged by acclaimed poets Richard Blanco and Jennifer Clement, and was twice winner of the Academy of American Poets university prize. A Massachusetts native, she now divides her time between Cape Cod and central Mexico.
