A Shade Pulled Just Barely is a short book of poems that spans many years: from early to late midlife and beyond. The poems unfold as if before a window facing west. The sun is high, but descending. In the fullness of time passing, a woman uncovers aspects of herself that she has kept hidden. Tensions between shadow and light, restraint and desire, love broken and made whole, thread the collection. A Shade Pulled Just Barely suggests a woman's meandering path to a deeper awareness and self-acceptance.
