Fused is a collection of poems that explores the ways in which we are connected-with each other, with our past, with the animal world, and with our planet. The title poem recalls the author's experience of receiving four blood transfusions and thinking about the people-all strangers-with whom she was quite literally "fused." Poet Gloria Heffernan found herself embracing this theme as a conscious alternative to the polarization that has become so pervasive in our society. The poems in Fused convey a tone of hope and healing. In a time that is so fraught with division, pain, and horror, it is possible that our only real hope is to recognize and appreciate our many connections.
