Poet Richard Widerkehr's struggle to reach and to know his sister touches on the experiences of all families who live with similar issues. He gives us poems of penetrating beauty that both pierce and open the heart. These poems offer an unflinching view of the pain and longing one feels when loving someone who has retreated to an inaccessible inner world. Widerkehr helps us enter that world and perhaps even understand some of it. --Rena Ziegler, MSW, Psychotherapist
