Jade Bird: Singing Grief - Paperback
by Joan Logghe (Author)
"Such powerful medicine-the courage and love in this book. An astonishing gift to the broken world."
Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer, author of The Unfolding and All the Honey.
Joan Logghe, Santa Fe Poet Laureate 2010-2012, explores the mysterious confluence of grief and beauty in her latest work, a memoir of her family's extraordinary discovery of resilience and meaning amidst profound sorrow.
A family loses a child at birth. With guidance from dreams and support from their community, they weave together rituals and ceremonies that bring deep spiritual meaning into an impossibly painful time. The baby's grandmother, Joan, wrote poems and painted in bright watercolor as she worked through her own grief process. Those poems and images became the backbone of this book, which chronicles her family's navigation through the valley of death.
"In this luminous collection by master poet and storyteller Joan Logghe, shot through with lyrical reflections by her family and illuminated with the author's watercolor musings, we are granted access to the sacred realm of profound loss, which cannot help but transform us."
Mirabai Starr, author of Caravan of No Despair and Wild Mercy.
