Aprašymas

All there is, is light and darkness and wonder.
And in that moment, there is no difference, either,
between love and the memory of love. - "Up Above the World"

In this latest collection Richard Harrison has created a companion to his Governor General Award-winning collection On Not Losing My Father's Ashes in the Flood. In My Mother Joins the Resistance, Harrison considers his mother's life - from her time as a child during WWII's Operation Pied Piper, up until its end, in 2017, when terminally ill with cancer, she chose MAiD - with elegant, deeply felt poetry. These are beautiful poems, ones that piece together a person, a life and a family over generations. These are poems that examine the wounds passed down through a family, alongside the love, and see the echoes of both - the wounds and the love - in the world around us.
