<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Here's a book about the adjustment to age, the imperfections in the world, <br /> loss and what it makes of a person, and the poet as an "absentee Nana," her<br /> grandchild living far away. What does it mean, in a climate changed world, <br /> to pass the "stiff diorama" of degraded farmland to a scattered family?<br /> Kendrick valiantly copes with not having all the answers in And Luckier. Her<br /> combination of melancholy and gratitude provides all we can't know of life<br /> and its endings with a majestic understanding.<br /> --Molly Peacock</p>
