<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>The lyric poems in <i>Every Atom</i> explore how identity is formed, the layers of the mother-daughter relationship, and the ravages of dementia.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Across distance, the speaker of these poems wrestles with the way her mother's loss of memory changes the narrative between them. By interrogating the past, fissures in language, and the vagaries of identity, the speaker comes to a recognition that we are all more alike in our humanity than we are different.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"With clarity and grace, Erin Coughlin Hollowell cleaves into the liminal spaces between living and merely existing, between the past and forgetting, between mother and daughter, and brings us these hard-won and resilient gifts from her journey. Every Atom is a book that you need to read, because in it are the poems that matter."--<b>Kevin Goodan</b>, author of <i>Let the Voices</i> <p>"Erin Hollowell has written a stunning and beautiful tribute to a mother as she slips away into loss of memory and belonging in a body and family. And yet the richness of relation here--wreckage and tenderness--is a balm for the losses we all know we will suffer on behalf of those who have given us our lives and for our very selves. 'Saint Crow, ' she writes, for darkness is indeed an entrance into the holy in these wise and nourishing poems."--<b>Alison Hawthorne DemingStairway to Heaven</i> <p>"There comes a moment in every Erin Coughlin Hollowell poem when the heart threatens to burst open and spill light."--<b>Luis Alberto Urrea</b>, author of <i>The Hummingbird's Daughter</i> <p>Author Featured on <em>49 Writers Blog</em><br><br>"Despite its distressing subject, <i>Every Atom</i> is a stirring book. Hollowell's masterful writing and her profound reflections on her mother's final year hold us and carry us through this grave but illuminating collection."--<b>John Morgan</b> for <i>Cirque</i> Magazine<br>
