"A haunting memoir tracing the path to artistic maturity, Louise Nayer walks readers through a journey fraught with danger and romance. Here, the act of writing poetry transforms grief into something transcendent. Suspenseful and beautifully written." —Lee Kravetz, therapist and author of many books including the novel The Last Confessions of Sylvia Plath
