House That Falls

Poetry. A HOUSE THAT FALLS examines the way the mind works through the fogged lens of Alzheimer's disease; the way memories, relationships, and even language itself disarticulates; the way we perceive and misperceive ourselves, our loved ones and our own histories; and how we learn to survive inside these strange and fluid worlds. Naomi Shihab Nye says, "There's something radiantly deep in the poems....Something luminous and haunting, familiar yet magnetically charged, potently mysterious." Denise Duhamel comments, "Sean Nevin understands the paradox of using language to capture its unraveling. In heartbreaking poems that chronicle Alzheimer's, he probes the power of memory and the tragic beauty of its demise...A HOUSE THAT FALLS is a poignant and evocative chapbook."Nevin, Sean is the author of 'House That Falls ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780970027764 and ISBN 0970027761.
