For years I wandered in a strange world, sinking to the bottom of dark holes, crawling on my hands and knees, trying to find my way through the dark. And then I found poetry. One by one my poems illuminated a path back to the everyday world. It is true: The antithesis of depression is creativity.\"\u003cp\u003eShe wrote these poems over a fifteen year period. She wrote in Argentina, Spain, the Basque Country, Wyoming, Arizona, California, the Grand Canyon and Colorado.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I looked for him in the cante and baile of flamenco and in the Spanish and Basque languages. I caught glimpses of face, traces of his ghost. I studied the love letters he wrote to my mother from Peru. In the end I came up against the hugeness of the word \"dead\". I hope these poems will guide my father home and help him to find peace.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pantor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49893627199728,"sku":"9780692527498","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692527498","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
