| Publisher Description: A Beautiful, Heartrending Memoir in Poems Sometimes our lives are divided in two -- the before and the after. Insert something in between that is so profound, and it feels as if your very molecules are rearranged. For Dianne Avey, this was the day her soul left her body in search of her deceased husband. Impossible Ledges takes the reader on her journey through illness, death, visiting her husband in the afterlife, and returning to her ordinary life that will never be ordinary again. ___________________________________ "Impossible Ledges belongs on the shelf with Tennyson's In Memoriam. Dianne Avey's poems of grief and consolation are that true and that tender." Paul J. Willis, author of Deer at Twilight: Poems from the North Cascades "Poignant and starkly real, these poems leave you feeling nourished and full." Glenna Cook, author of Thresholds
