I Will Sing for You Like A Shell

This unusual collection of poems, drawings and photos of porcelain handicraft offers us a window into the soul of a gifted young artist who died tragically of cancer in 2011. Spanning nearly thirty years the poems document how a woman comes of age in modern society, searching for the meaning of existence, and not finding it in family, church, lovers, nowhere but in furtive glimpses of a higher order of reality during moments of creativity -- in drawing, writing, shaping and firing pottery, and in love-making. Only a small fraction of the author's total output of pastel drawings and handicraft are shown here with her poetry.
