Imagine Alzheimer's sufferers and their loved ones treading water in a choppy sea of exhaustion and despair. Now picture Nancy Lagomarsino's Light From an Eclipse as a life preserver, airborne and spinning toward them--a missile of hope and survival. Light From an Eclipse is, in equal measures, heartrending and celebratory of the beauty and buoyancy of life in the face of death. I read this book moved and shaken by its poetic sensibility, its wisdom and the gift of its grace.--Wally Lamb
Nancy Lagomarsino is the author of two previous collections of prose poems, Sleep Handbook and The Secretary Parables. She has an MFA in creative writing from Vermont College.
