Poetry. MOVING is a life journey about the search for home: imaginative, spiritual, emotional and actual. Underlying the poems are two lost homes--the poet's childhood home which she moved from when she was seven--and her mother's--a home shattered by her own mother's illness and her little brother's death at seven. "Elizabeth Greene's poems embark on a true voyage in her latest collection, MOVING. She visits the altars of the past and warms their old stones with an inheritance of questions. And like a true voyage, these poems make the return trip home, crossing over thresholds, on this far side of fear, with both the rush of an initiate and the pace of a seasoned poet"--Sue Goyette.
