Family as Celestial Body is a collection of poems that wrestles with the far-reaching effects of belonging to a large, complex family.

This collection is a brave attempt to understand and honor the non-chosen clan that forms each of us.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Patty Ware grew up in a large, bi-cultural family whose influences heavily shaped the adult she became. Much of her writing centers on relationships, whose beauty and maddening complexity inform her pursuit of the still center. Her poems have appeared in Cirque, Gyroscope Review, Literary Mama and Slippery Elm. This is her first collection.
