Bøger af Gail Rudd Entrekin

Poetry. In CHANGE (WILL DO YOU GOOD) Gail Entrekin lays out the boundries of what's really at stake in the affairs of the heart. In these poems, with an economy of words and the clarity of a practiced poet, she takes on life's transitions and, like Mary Oliver and Sharon Olds, bravely reveals the expectations beneath the choices we all must face. Gail Entrekin does what our best poets have always done; she makes the value of our emotional journeys available and visible...and real.

Poetry. Collaboration. THE ART OF HEALING documents in poetry the experience of Charles' bout with cancer. Poets Charles Entrekin and Gail Rudd Entrekin--husband and wife, survivor and caregiver, insider and witness--beautifully, vulnerably and sometimes heartbreakingly share their finely crafted poems in this brilliant volume. In this collection, both poets were moved to make sense of what was happening in their lives through the writing of poems. Unaware of each others content, they continued writing throughout the treatment. Later, upon reflection, they realized that they had been coming to grips with the same events through poems that seemed to complement each other. These poems reflect those two journeys, from diagnosis to treatment to healing, and the coming to terms with what remains, what it means to be alive and part of a larger web of being. This is a book for anyone who has come to know the meaning of suffering and healing.
