Sinking in the Stillness

"Some say you can't go home again. But of course, you can. It's just different. The painter sometimes has to look away from the painting before she can see it. The composer must stop the music for a time in order to hear it. In the red Proven al soil, Heather Peters finds the Georgia clay that caked her father's boots. And that's the poem of it. Perhaps a human being has to go away to come home. SINKING IN THE STILLNESS is more than a book of beautifully told recollections. In them, we feel the author's yearning to know who she is in this new place, at these precise moments. They are intimate, these sensations. Full of compassion. Not without struggle." -Mark Ari (taken from the introduction)
