The desire to provide a universal collection of poems about Alzheimer's from multiple perspectives led directly to this anthology, Forgetting Home: Poems about Alzheimer's. My hope is that the poems within will succor readers who have lost loved ones to Alzheimer's, and support caregivers still coping with the difficult task of reverse-parenting, without losing sight of the need to respect and honor the disease's sufferers as the individuals they are. Includes poetry by Maryann Corbett, Lois Marie Harrod, Catherine Chandler, Paulann Petersen, Gail White, Maxine Susman, Jean Kreiling, Barbara Ungar, Angela Alaimo O'Donnell, Wendy Howe, Paul Lake and many more.
While the ultimate end of Alzheimer's sufferers is a sad one, Anna M. Evans gathers together poets from around the world for the anthology, Forgetting Home, and the experience of Alzheimer's - as patient, loved one, assisted living staff member - is now reshaped into words that lend themselves to the most potent and accessible of reflections, characters, and experiences.
Forgetting Home is an evocative poetry anthology that reminds us of something so easily forgotten: one's identity. -- Lisa Marie Brodsky, Verse Wisconsin Online
