Sewn from Water

It's as if Deborah Rosch Eifert's soul is writing this book egging it on awe driven and cheering reminding us that rebirth is everywhere around us and within us. Her words are luscious keenly poignant and laden with imagery. It is a book of wisdom and it is a book of personal forgiveness as Eifert shows us how to become the ocean/that lives within [our] skin. Sewn from Water is an incredible poetic tribute to female strength and the human spirit.- Claire Hersom author of Drowning: A Poetic Memoir and Dreamscape - Moon Pie PressHow can we bear the hurt that it is to be human? Eifert turns her attention to the natural world and the self demonstrating the fluidity of existence where the power of jays oceans pines barnacles can perform a kind of alchemy to make the heart whole. - Susan Grimm past Ohio Poet of the Year; Runner-up 2020 Wilder Prize; author Roughed Up by the Sun's Mothering Tongue - Finishing Line PressIn Sewn from Water Deborah Rosch Eifert offers the reader not only a picture of the infinite and myriad negotiations between the self and the world that surrounds it but also in lush visual language a lyrical grimoire full of instructions on how that self by virtue of connecting to often archetypal sources of energy and power can shore itself up for the challenges to come. - Jenny E.
