"My Hand Upon Your Name is a collection of lyrical poems that confront and transform the loss of the familiar, placing us then, eye-to-eye with fear and love. There is an underlying compassionate energy here that recognizes our interconnectedness in all circumstances. Many of the poems render realities and dreams in an atmosphere of acceptance for life as it is, life without any clear maps or consistently perfect guides. The poems suggest discovery of an intimate kind of support that has no one name and allows for exuberance, kindness, lights and forms, a vase in which to slip a flower, a pen, or nothing at all--love for each just the same."--Publisher's website.

A reissuing of Snow Water Cove, the debut poetry collection by Jeannine Savard.

Accounted For is a collection of lyrical poems told by a multi-faceted persona responsible for discovering the meaning of individual integrity, regardless of the apparent self's impermanent nature. Many poems reveal encounters with other selves, mirrored selves, intimated, drawn, or fully detailed; each revealing a concern for or view into the illusion of time as it plays out in both the personal and social spheres. Prayer, dreams, invocations, meditations suggest relationship with the Unseen that sometimes bestows images that breach our natural world, our natural selves. Occasionally, the speaker will reveal its single self, or even a fractured self as the drama or circumstances in the poems require. The multi-layered or deconstructed self might manage varying perspectives, arrive at a temporary freedom from what binds it, achieve leverage, but when faith in a whole self's seed is present, she finds by turns, a depth to her vision, openness to a life and death mystery.
