Eigner’s poetry collection charts a decade of a mother’s grief at the loss of a beloved adult daughter. Like a kind of Demeter doggedly searching through “the long, miserable journey of days,” Eigner looks everywhere for what lasts: in nature, memory, love and family, in the clay objects her daughter sculpted, in a grandson’s face, in encounters with others who teach her a different way of carrying grief, like a Hopi friend, who says “the body is like a corn stalk/What lasts in the breath.”
