My Hand Upon Your Name is a collection of lyrical poems that confront and transform the loss of the familiar, placing us then, eye-to-eye with fear and love. There is an underlying compassionate energy here that recognizes our interconnectedness in all circumstances. Many of the poems render realities and dreams in an atmosphere of acceptance for life as it is, life without any clear maps or consistently perfect guides. The poems suggest discovery of an intimate kind of support that has no one name and allows for exuberance, kindness, lights and forms, a vase in which to slip a flower, a pen, or nothing at all—love for each just the same.
