From the ruins of ocean liners and model cities, to the dark impulses of Greek myths and biblical narratives, poet Megan Gannon casts a wide thematic net in tracing the legacy of desire in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. With the lyric compression of Emily Dickinson, the syntactical momentum and surrealist imagery of Sylvia Plath, the poems in White Nightgown examine how desire serves as both a creative and a destructive force, drawing loved ones near to us and pushing them away, destroying nations as well as shaping them. In Gannon's poems, the vestiges of desire are as encompassing as water, as enduring and semi-visible as ghosts.

This memoir chronicles the author Meg Tipper''s journey in the land of grief for the first year after the sudden death of her 22 year old daughter Maggie. These starkly honest observations weave inspiring and amusing details of Maggie''s life with universal feelings of grief. Through the daily entries and occasional photographs other stories of Meg''s life unfold as well: long-term recovery in a twelve step program, the first year of retirement and frequent traveling, the aftermath of divorce, a move, and the cementing of a new romance. While sudden death puts Meg on the edge of a terrifying emptiness, she finds in that space deeper spiritual and personal connections, a richer experience of life. "Standing at the Edge fiercely and lovingly tells a story of death, grief and love. Any mother, any daughter and every woman in recovery will be moved and changed by this book."-Diane Cameron, syndicated columnist and author of Out of the Woods at Blogspot.com
