I Heard A Train by Nancy Beauregard

These poems may spring from the suffering of human life—from violence to blindness—but they also speak of beauty and redemption. Each poem is a kind of healing lyric, putting the readers back in touch with our own hearts. It’s exciting to open this volume, the culmination of many years work, and no doubt the first of many books of poetry from Nancy Beauregard.

I Heard a Train by Nancy Beauregard is filled with the kind of stark imagery that weaves itself into your emotional core, leaving you breathless. Do yourself a favor and buy this book, curl up in your favorite chair, and get lost on the ride.

–Serena Rodriguez, Poetry Editor, Santa Fe Literary Review

With unusual sensitivity and an uncanny sense of rhythm, Nancy Beauregard‘s poetry examines the cycles of nature, the mysteries of the body, and the myriad facets of the human condition. Beauregard’s knack for capturing the beauty – and the pain – that surround her makes for a body of work that is at turns haunting, poignant, and deeply relevant in today’s tumultuous, ever- innovating world. Original imagery defines her distinctive poems, which muse on the complexities of a life well lived. Truly, Beauregard’s wry observations will linger long after the reader turns the final, luminous page.
