Naked Rib

<p>In <em>Naked Rib</em> we begin in the Garden with Eve the first female and continue through the embodied experience of one woman's life.  The verses speak of a childhood deeply connected to the earth and explore a yearning to live creatively without restriction.  The lines of the poems lead the reader through young adulthood motherhood and the sorrow of losing both a husband and a grown daughter to cancer.  Learning to continue with gratitude and a renewed sense of this earth's beauty are the shores on which the final poems land.</p><p></p>
