Plunging deep into the soul, Sally Ito renders a spiritual examination like no other in her new poetry collection, Alert to Glory. With this cohesive meditation of creativity, motherhood and poetry, Ito discerns spiritual gifts in daily acts of raising children and writing. Her images tie in to profound moments with clear, fearless language: a clematis vine ceases to exist when the speaker is distracted by a poem - her first child. "I'm the poem, he says./Look at me!" Children's teeth falling out, the endless exhaustion of mother's work, and the sight of an old baby carriage connect to deeper insights.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Born in Taber, Alberta, Sally Ito is a writer, editor, and translator living in Winnipeg with her husband and two children. Currently, she is an instructor of Creative Writing and a blog contributor to a children's multicultural literary blog. To express a deep abiding love for things 'visible and invisible' is what she aspires to in writing her poetry; failing and yet ever striving is the process through which she hopes one day to arrive.
