Breathe

What do we do when chaos enters the lives of those we love? Do we cordon ourselves off or do we, through the "ghost-limb connection" of welcome and poetry, open ourselves to another's experience, laced as such gestures are with responsibility, risk? These are a few of the questions explored by Angel Day's "Breathe", a book of hyperventilation, of the deep breath taken to salvage scarce time, of the rhythm a day moves to, and, above all, a book of the recovery of what is freely given away, taken back, and given away again to others needing more.
