In Diane Vogel Ferri's A Slow Journey to Totality, she begins with the clear affirmation that knowing is better than not knowing. At times soul-searching and grief-stricken, at times breathtakingly radiant and transcendent, this collection explores themes of family and faith, birth and death, gender and the art of aging. In her poem The Leaving, Ferri's imagined moment of earthly departure is triumphant: (If you are in church do not pray for me, / just sing and I will hear you.) and, The earth is a molecule now, / I'm holding gold dust in my hands, / I'll leave a portal open for you. By her journey's end, she has found her divine truth: I sit squarely in the mercy seat, / having walked there on my knees. Ferri has found her totality, and she is knowing.
