February 2020. Edited & Compiled by Terah Cox with Lindy Labriola, Illustrations by Lindy Labriola with Joni Grâce. This is the first book of poems to be released by Joni Grâce, a native of Ontario, Canada. The poems that compose this work present a fragile, yet fierce, humanness that is a complex amalgam of love and longing seeking the more of self and other that is findable only by the heart within and between us. The collection came together in 2020, and includes new poems written throughout that eventful year of challenge and change. It is a remarkable testament to the insistent urge for life and creation despite, and perhaps also because of, the turmoil in our world. REVIEWS: The emotional insight and deeply personal command of metaphor and meaning in this work is as courageous as it is cathartic. Ilene Angel, author of How to Calm the Hell Down and Be Happy. The range of emotions in this collection-so human, so vulnerable -is fulfilled in every moment of extracted wisdom and the willingness to 'lie down...get up...lie down...get up' again and again. Arnie Roman, award-winning songwriter and librettist. The Gap poignantly depicts both existential despair and a stubborn perseverance to knit together the dropped stitches of life, to bring together the disconnected edges. Barbara Thompson, co-author of The Craving Brain - Science, Spirituality and the Road to Recovery; Executive Director of Solutions for Interrupted Education. I have always felt that the measure of a true poet is a willingness to go to the depths and heights to not only seek, but dare to find a truth-however relative or mutable it may be. Feeling in the Gap displays an extraordinary capacity to feel, and to render the seeking and suffering of truth, matched by the ability to find its joy. Terah Cox, author of The Story of Love & Truth.
