<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Bass--co-author of million-seller Courage to Heal--says poetry is where she grieves, rages, prays.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"Poetry," writes best-selling author Ellen Bass, "is the way I pay attention, appreciate, give praise, struggle, grieve, rage, and pray. It's the way I embody my love for the world."</p><p> <i>The Human Line, </i> Bass' seventh book of poems, startles with its precise detail, intimate images, and wild metaphors. Bass brings attention to life's endearing absurdities, and many of the poems flash with a keen sense of humor. She also faces many of the crucial moral dilemmas of our time--genetic engineering, environmental issues, continuous war, heterosexism--and grounds her vision in the small, private workings of the heart.</p><p> <i>. . . When I get home, </i><br><i>my son has a headache, and though he's</i><br><i>almost grown, asks me to sing him a song.</i><br><i>We lie together on the lumpy couch</i><br><i>and I warble out the old show tunes, </i> Night and Day . . .<br>They Can't Take That Away from Me<i> . . . A cheap</i><br><i>silver chain shimmers across his throat</i><br><i>rising and falling with his pulse. There never was</i><br><i>anything else. Only these excruciatingly</i><br><i>insignificant creatures we love.</i></p><p> <b>Ellen Bass</b> is co-author of the million-selling book <i>Courage to Heal.</i> She lives and teaches in Santa Cruz, California.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ellen Bass is co-author of the million-seller Courage to Heal.
