Description
When we lose our mothers, we often mourn two losses: the relationship we had and the one we didn't. Cynthia Anderson attempts to reconcile these losses in The Missing Peace. Weaving a narrative of masterful short-form vignettes--cherita, tanka, and haiku--she shares a poignant journey. --Peter Jastermsky, Author of Steel Cut Moon and The Silence They Came For Cynthia Anderson's inspired lines map a child's quest for her mother's love. She must hold herself in the absence of comfort and grow herself in the absence of praise. With nowhere to hide, she must "hide in the stars." She takes us deep into the chambers of the heart where hope is sequestered. --Enid Osborn, Author of When The Big Wind Comes, Santa Barbara Poet Laureate 2017-2019 What is missing from memory has always been the flesh and bones of what could have been. There is never any peace in the void of loss. Cynthia Anderson braves the elements of regret by presenting us with a book about how to be brave and truthful in the face of loss. --ai li, Creator of Cherita, Editor and Publisher of the cherita I can relate to this honest, raw, and daring poetry book. The Missing Peace can heal and transform all who read it and bring to light that not everybody had an unconditionally loving mother, like we want to believe. Read it and become enlightened. --Pamela A. Babusci, Editor of moonbathing: a journal of women's tanka
