Literary Nonfiction. Memoir.

Review:
“Bernardi adroitly follows the pathways of memory to arrive in a place both traveled and not traveled before. . . . Each of the 10 essays in this book leaves the reader wanting more tickets to ride Bernardi’s mind.” —Eve Rifkah, author, Dear Suzanne and Outcasts
“In these 10 essays, the ephemeral, image-based language of Adria Bernardi meanders beautifully in the liminal territory between prose and poetry.” —Kate Daniels, author, A Walk in Victoria’s Secret
“A densely woven and deeply moving collection of essays in which images gather, echo one another, and are transformed in ways that are always surprising and consistently touch the heart.” —Susan Neville, author, In the House of Blue Lights and Invention of Flight
“The hypnotic, original structure of Adria Bernardi’s poetic prose, as it sends out associative tributaries (“meanders”), finding language for extreme states, explores and extends the forms and rituals of elegy. Hers is an astonishing, at times excruciating awareness, capable of brilliantly evoking what consciousness endures when the body—whether one’s own, a child’s, or the body politic—is under assault.” —Eleanor Wilner, poet, Tourist in Hell
