I was left breathless time and again by the wisdom and breadth of the hard-won, deftly crafted poetry in Ann Wallace's Keeping Room. By turns harrowing and heartening, her poems of illness and recovery urge us toward nature and our own human nature of resilience and renewal. Keeping Room invites us all to open a little more than is comfortable to the pull of this difficult world, holding space for the paradox that "disruption and love equal joy."
- James Crews, author ofTurning Toward Grief and Breathing Room
