Grounded in the traditions of meditative and contemplative poetry, From Nothing confronts disease and mortality with the healing possibilities of verse. Whether remembering the sound of whispered secrets on a family vacation or celebrating a favorable PET scan, in Silver's keen observations of seemingly mundane moments we glimpse the divine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs she addresses profound questions about how to make meaning out of suffering, Silver's poems attest to the power of art to help us face difficult realities in an often painful world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"I'm ransacked by the pain and love and urgency of this book. These aren't pretty, redemptive poems about cancer and loss; they're gritty oracles that divide joint from marrow as we stand before coffins, stillbirths, and mastectomy scars. This is one of few poets just brazen enough to be human. In short, Anya Silver doesn't screw around.\"--Tania Runyan, author of \u003ci\u003eSecond Sky\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Thousand Vessels\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eANYA KRUGOVOY SILVER's previous collections include \u003ci\u003eI Watched You Disappear\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Ninety-Third Name of God\u003c\/i\u003e.
