Annie Klier Newcomer's debut collection speaks to the world's propensity to awe us in concert with all we love and lose. In writing about family, whether close at hand or long-gone, she explores the ties that bind, the grief that travels with us, and the love that remains. Looking to the larger human family, she writes a poem about integration, "Some stories never end," and to the cosmos, considering the cycles of comets. This lyrical collection invites us to consider the paths we live, like comets arching across time.
