Book Synopsis Alzheimer Poems by : Laurel Brodsley
Download or read book Alzheimer Poems written by Laurel Brodsley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laurel Brodsley was a lecturer in English literature at a major university. One day at a familiar intersection, she briefly lost her sense of direction. As she immediately suspected, this was the first symptom of early-onset Alzheimer's Disease, which she tried to delay by every strategy she could find. Five years later, after finally having to give up work, she started to write poetry about her experience. Over the following six years these poems, often bleak but often celebrating life, show her slow decline towards dementia. She has now lost the ability to touch-type, which makes more poetry problematic. Alzheimer Poems is a selection of her poems over six years, followed by an earlier essay on her experience fighting Alzheimer's Disease, and her prospects. The poems use symbolism, observations, and her personal experiences to bring to life the unique perspective of what is happening in her brain. She has a distinct interest in the esthetics of art, music, and nature that is evident throughout the collection. The poems act as a window into the plight of a person struggling with this degenerative and fatal disease.

Whether writing in fixed forms, free forms, or from her mother's written memories, Hansel creates a way to bear her readers, her mother, and herself though this harrowing time. This is a hard-won, heart-won book"--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Eco-Dementia written by Janet Kauffman and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poems inspired by a love of the living world and the actions that destroy what sustains us. Janet Kauffman describes "eco-dementia" as a paradoxical condition of humanity—possessing a love of the living world while simultaneously causing and suffering from its destruction. Like other dementias, losses are profound. We lose touch, we forget. We don't recognize our own home—the habitat that sustains us. What has driven us to exploit more and more resources, even when risking self-annihilation? Eco-dementia is not nature poetry but an immersive language in the tangle of the living world that asks the question: can we survive this relationship? The poems in Eco-dementia took shape in one decade of the author's life. In three sections, Kauffman reflects on insanities and devastations, from the personal to the global. From her father's Alzheimer's and the ravaged world of his mind to the horrors of Abu Ghraib, Hurricane Katrina, and toxins in Lake Erie, as well as the planetary-wide ecological catastrophe of climate change. Yet despite this devastation, it is possible to surround ourselves in light and air, to touch the tall grasses we love, to step into water and shade and feel an intense, momentary joy. Kauffman's poems show the bliss within the elemental richness of the natural world and also the violent distortions and grief at its devastation. Like learning a new language, we can see and hear words, sometimes understanding so clearly and other times not at all. Or as Kauffman's father puts it, "I know where you live, but I don't know who you are." The language of these poems is the physical material of a damaged world. Readers of modern and experimental poetry will treasure this collection.
