About this ebook
By JoAnne Bauer, Ph.D.
Coining the term poemoir to describe her book, prize-winning author JoAnne Bauer tells stories from her life in this two-part collection of narrative and lyric richness. Her past surfaces deftly and often humorously, through complex layers of poetic imagery and memory.
This ekphrastic project provides thought-enriching overlays and echoings, as Bauer references work of master artists, musicians, philosophers and other literary folks, as well as offering her original mixed media collages and altered photographs.
In five sections, we travel with her --from a sheltered childhood into armored feminism and past the twists and turns of loves vicissitudes, emerging into good-natured fun and transformed by earned wisdom, ready to reckon with mortalitys abrupt shortcomings. From the immediacy of captured details, her personal and unique path flowers into universal revelations about a womans life fully lived.
