Synopsis
“This challenging collection is, in an unusual sense, the life work of Marj Kosky. Into her poems this spirited, deeply spiritual woman put the whole of her later life as she lived it: difficult, often painful – beset with the sense of grotesque change from youth to age and sickness, battling to control body and mind – and at the same time enriched wit culture and talent, with strong piety, feisty courage and saving humour.
Readers will encounter not just the stuff of meditation so richly present in her songs of praise such as Eucharist, but a sense of abounding life far behind most people’s everyday experience.
Many a pilgrim struggling with Marj’s disabilities would have stopped practicing her art; she has chosen to accept the road before her and to eye it by the burning sun that afflicted her travels. It becomes the scene of a no small triumph, and Marj Kosky herself.
A singing rainbow praising as she goes.” From the Foreword by Judith Rodriguez.
