Language Like Water by Nancy Gerber

$17.99

 

A rose, a buttercup, tufts of dandelions, perfume, an aging mother, the rests between poems, quiet intervals between the music. Nancy Gerber’s grief-driven reflections of the mother lost beautifully and tenderly resurrect the sanctity of truth in the mother-daughter relationship.

–Christine Redman-Waldeyer—author of The Nest, Founder/Editor of Adanna Literary Journal

The poems in Language Like Water speak to conflicts, challenges, and connections in a daughter’s relationship with her mother over the span of a lifetime.  The poems resonate with longing and struggle as the daughter seeks to understand and restore her complicated mother, an enigmatic figure who struggles with depression.  Ultimately the daughter recognizes her own strengths as she acknowledges and inscribes moments and memories of sharing and connection.

Nancy Gerber is the author of the poetry chapbooks, “The Kingdom of Childhood” and “We Are All Refugees,” published by New Feral Press.  Her book Fire and Ice: Poetry and Prose (Arseya, 2014) was a finalist for the Gradiva Award.  She received a PhD in English from Rutgers University and completed psychoanalytic training at the Academy of Clinical and Applied Psychoanalysis in Livingston, New Jersey.
