Book Description
Hurricane Walk is Diann Blakely’s first volume of poetry. Originally published in 1992, it was named one of the ten best verse collections published that year by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. With this collection, Blakely artfully mines the empathic center of each poem, fearlessly crafting an achingly personal portrait of contemporary life and family that is both sweet and razor sharp. "What poetry does best and perhaps does most plaintively," Blakely has said, "is to remind us of the absences and losses of the world we currently suffer and revel in. It is very much the language of intimacy.” And this is what her work achieves at its best. Blakley wrings a refined sense of intimacy from her carefully crafted verses, revealing the fragile essence of the female experience and, moreover, of the human condition.

Pages : 317
Book Description
My first brush with death was at birth, having entered the world as a “Code Blue Baby.” In all my thrilling adventures over the years, I have been confronted by grizzly bears, pushed off a cliff, and fallen into deadly bogs, but my brush with death in an avalanche while helicopter skiing was certainly the most profound. Being brought back from death was a miracle that changed my life in so many ways. It taught me to live in the moment with gratitude, love, appreciation, and with no time for fear. “No Time For Fear” is my personal account of adventures, discoveries, and lessons I have learned. I hope this book will leave you laughing, thinking positively, and grateful for everything life sends your way.
