The 33rd collection of poetry for Marion Deutsche Cohen, this volume shows off one of her son's art pieces as a cover, as did her last with New Plains Press, The Project of Being Alive. The ethos of this title runs along the same vein as Project, though touching on some new topics so near and dear. Marion has a way of revealing subtle truths in huge ways by plying diction so strongly into our mind's eye ... as if she's anticipated exactly what we all need to hear, and after all, the things she discusses aren't so foreign to us that we cannot relate. Family as a chief subject and anything that may harm the symbiosis of this family is fair game. Her unabated attention to her chief concern, family, is carried mostly in what I have ever read of her, and unashamedly her tenacity is encouraging to those who may need courage in understanding what family actually means.

Separation Tango explores the themes of love, loneliness, and heartbreak. In this collection, the reader will find themselves lost in a cotillion of myth, nature, fear, language, and loss.

Songs of Chaos is a collection of poetry, prose and prose poems that explores darkness and light and despair and courage both thoughtfully and ferociously. Its purpose is to teach our madness how to sing even if those songs are mere whispers. The works in this volume are both passionate and provocative, but they are also very honest and come from a place that is a collective memory.This concludes the full description.
