What Flies Away Author: Ann Campanella
Publisher: Main Street Rag Publishing Co.
ISBN: 1-59948-034-4
$12  What Flies Away is a collection of poetry that explores the author’s grief as her mother descends into Alzheimer’s and her father dies. Finally, after a period of infertility, she experiences the joy of her daughter’s birth.
"We are riveted to these poems," writes Tony Abbott, professor Emeritus of Davidson College, "as step by step we experience the loss, the grief, the mourning, and then the astounding resurrection. It’s a book to read and read again. Every poem in the book is part of the journey, and the journey changes the reader. This is what poetry is about." The collection was chosen for Main Street Rag’s Editor’s Select Poetry Series. It can be ordered from www.mainstreetrag.com.
