    About this ebook

    lt;p>The running theme through the collectionamp;nbsp;lt;em>Wave as If You Can See Melt;/em>amp;nbsp;is theamp;nbsp;progression of illnesses resulting in the death of the poetamp;rsquo;s husband,amp;nbsp;fictionamp;nbsp;writer Scott Ely, from the effectsamp;nbsp;of Agent Orange in Vietnam. Interspersed with these poems are heramp;nbsp;own explorationsamp;mdash;in part distractionamp;nbsp;from the pain of watching her husbandamp;rsquo;samp;nbsp;decline, in part a long-held desireamp;mdash;intoamp;nbsp;painting.lt;/p>
