Light from an Eclipse
AUTHOR
Nancy Lagomarsino
Light From An Eclipse is a poetic prose poem memoir dealing with her family's ordeal with Alzheimer's disease.
Reviews
As a complement to the many healthcare handbooks and self-help guides now available, Lagomarsino’s collection provides a caregiver’s perspective with sensory vividness, literary delicacy, and unexpected surges of comedy.

Light from an Eclipse is, in equal measures, heartrending and celebratory of the beauty and buoyancy of life in the face of death. I read this book moved and shaken by its poetic sensibility, its wisdom, and the gift of its grace.
