What We Keep
The new book of poems by Nancy Noelke.
In this moving memoir in poetry, Nancy Noelke honors each stage of life with a lyric, tender, and independent spirit. In poems that chart a 1960s childhood, marriage, motherhood, and divorce, then map the terrain of caretaking aging parents, grieving, and the acceptance and creativity found in aging, Noelke voices a fierce vitality born from loving herself and her world exactly as they are.
—Rebecca Jamieson, author of The Body of All Things
