Nancy Sobanik's chapbook poetry collection The Unfolding explores the intersection of the profane and sacred in life moments. Great losses are followed by the revelation of grace and unexpected gifts. These poems are an outpouring of a soul's response to a family's hidden traumas- alcoholism, miscarriage, Alzheimer's, suicide- but the landscape of family history is not complete without the celebration of events that bring great joy. The Unfolding delivers poems in which strength and hope are derived from nature's healing power, the inexorable passage of time, and the resilience of the human spirit. These are poems that boldly confront life challenges, full of pathos and transcendence.
