Poetry. Memoir. LIGHT FROM AN ECLIPSE is a poetic prose poem memoir dealing with a family's ordeal with Alxheimer's disease. "Imagine Alzheimer's sufferers and their loved ones treading water in a choppy sea of exhaustion and despair. Now picture Nancy Lagomarsino's LIGHT FROM AN ECLIPSE as a life preserver, airborne and spinning towards them--a missile of hope and survival. LIGHT FROM AN ECLIPSE is, in equal measures, heartrending and celebratory of the beauty and buoyancy of life in the face of death. I read this book moved and shaken by its poetic sensibility, its wisdom and the gift of its grace"--Wally Lamb. Nancy Lagomarsino is the author of two previous collections of prose poems, Sleep Handbook and The Secretary Parables. She has an MFA in creative writing from Vermont College.
