And in the open spaces at the heart of these poems is a mother who has disappeared. In a world of war and displacement, illness of the mind and body, imprisonment and violence both historical and personal, the poet leads her readers through a landscape of loss. In unadorned language, she draws readers into the interplay between articulation and silence--and finally offers a vision of redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMari L'Esperance\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the chapbook \u003ci\u003eBegin Here\u003c\/i\u003e, awarded a Sarasota Poetry Theatre Press Chapbook Prize.
