Where We Went Through

 
Where We Went Through, a chapbook of poems by Nancy Nowak, traces a journey through landscapes physical and emotional. Two people, the poet and her artist husband, begin the journey together, but after his sudden illness and death, she remains to enter sorrow alone.

As novelist Christopher Bram, author of Gods and Monsters, writes, the book is “an intimate memoir constructed of concise, finely detailed poems—like snapshots of the world by two people seeing the world together: some as delicate as watercolors, others as deep as X-rays. When one person [dies], it’s devastating. This is a stunning book—in all meanings of the word.”

Poet Beatrix Gates (The Burning Key) describes Nowak’s book as “lit with beauty, and raw with the devastation of all her familiar loves.” Where We Went Through, according to Sharyn Wolf, author of Love Shrinks, “is a rich book, multilayered and textured, and I will go back to these poems again.”
