Myra Shapiro's fourth book begins with the death of dancer Martha Graham. But if you think this is a book about death you are missing the point not only about this first poem, but about Myra's attitude toward death. The subject of this book is life and how death itself is about how we live it. From Myra's birth, when she replaced her sister who died as a child, through and after her husband's death, Myra Shapiro calls on and brings to mind the blessings that make life what it is. She savors life down to the last teaspoon.
