Walking Backward

Margaret Stawowy

0/5 ( ratings)

With deftness, a pure delight in words, and reverence for their power, Margaret Stawowy distills story into literature’s compelling and most succinct form, poetry. In Walking Backward, she dares to visit that borderland where ancestral meets modern, an often mysterious terrain willfully or unwittingly hidden from lives that would be elevated by knowing. This beautiful book takes us on a brave journey of excavation, unearthing a surprising past, and shows that any potential tempest can be weathered when a family stands together, strong in its truth.

—Anita Gail Jones, author of The Peach Seed

Sometimes poems are doorways, and in this case, doorways to the past. Stawowy's poems reveal the hidden and unexpected rooms of family history with grace, ease, and the unfiltered light of truth-telling. The teller never forgets that story is the container that holds and connects us all.
