Between the Space of Grace and Gray (Paperback)

This first published volume contains poems accumulated over nine years but reflects experience from the author's earliest memories to the present. Dana Larkin Sauers seeks to achieve a balance of intellect and emotion in addition to the continuum of grace and gray. The release of grace in its purest form- laughing, embracing, and celebrating- can best be sensed in what she insists is her signature poem: Root Beer A letter shouldn't mean so much but yours was like a frosted mug of root beer in July up and over onto the countertop so lathered and sweet the aftertaste was long. Through the collection's grayness she simply states the reality and lets the audience consider with the speaker the mystery, complexities and revelation of such concepts as love, spirituality, suffering, and wisdom in their various forms and degrees.
