Slowly, as If – Karen Press (Paperback / Soft Cover)

In Slowly, As If, Karen Press looks clear-eyed at what it means to live in a complex society, a fragile world. She celebrates the connectedness that sustains us in dance, in love, with the natural world, in cities where ‘strangers seem happy / to let you be and sees it betrayed by our unreflecting complicity in poverty and violence. The death of a child who barely scratched the air of the country resonates in her tender, devastating account: When a child dies, who is responsible?

Slowly, As If asks hard questions with grace and wit, balancing the particular and the universal. Being told / You’re made of stardust / is not helpful / as you sit holding a parking ticket , but it is, none the less, a truth.
