When I Looked Back You Were Gone

In Cary Waterman’s third and most mature collection of poetry, she writes incisivley of family relationships, love, loss, and mortality. this is the voice of a woman who has traveled, literally and spiritually, and whose wanderings have given her a fresh vision of her home landscape of Minnesota. Infused with a deep sense of sympathy for the human condition, Waterman’s work is not just poetry, but a kind of literary healing art.
