Light From An Eclipse (Marie Alexander Poetry Series)

“Imagine Alzheimer’s sufferers and their loved ones treading water in a choppy sea of exhaustion and despair. Now picture Nancy Lagomarsino’s Light From an Eclipse as a life preserver, airborne and spinning toward them—a missile of hope and survival. Light From an Eclipse is, in equal measures, heartrending and celebratory of the beauty and buoyancy of life in the face of death. I read this book moved and shaken by its poetic sensibility, its wisdom and the gift of its grace.”—Wally Lamb

Nancy Lagomarsino is the author of two previous collections of prose poems, Sleep Handbook and The Secretary Parables. She has an MFA in creative writing from Vermont College.
