Fading Into Focus
A Memoir: A Mother, A Daughter, Alzheimer's and a Changing Relationship
“The narrative forms like a necklace of beads, with the truly inspired images shining like gems. Absolutely recommended for personal reading lists.”
– Kirkus Reviews
“In crisp, poignant vignettes, Joan Kantor focuses an artist’s eye on her mother’s life. Her poems unfold the secret nurturing of lost dreams, the crippling power of fear, and the joy to be found in brief moments of freedom.This rich journey is for everyone.”
– Mimi Madden, Former Artistic Director, The Sunken Garden Poetry Festival
