Lyrical poems map the reconstruction of a woman's life after an exodus from a twenty year marriage. Pelman takes this all-too common sorrow and places it in the natural world. The poems trace a conscious reconstruction of self: from a narrow place of limitations through a metaphorical desert, towards joy, the eventual promised land. In the process of creating and refining the poem itself, she has found a parallel healing of the spirit. “If words could build a world, like love / one stone would be enough.”
