The Arbiter of Her Own Flame - Thomas Toni

It was back and back, a long time ago. There was a mother born of verve and flame in a world of camouflage. A daughter trying to understand, speak for her. The hospital an hourglass of derision beside the world's swept rooms. What could she do but rummage the corridors of her imagination in the name of faith? 

This collection of poems explores the nature of sanity, passion, longing, and grace.
