Synopsis "Shadow-Feast "

Shadow-feast is a chronicle of dying--the awareness, denial, pain, and hope surrounding incurable illness, as well as the aftermath of grief as told from three points of view: Hers, His, and Theirs (the couple). The collection as a whole is a kagezen, or shadow-feast, a traditional Japanese meal offered to the dead. However, here it is set out not for an absent beloved, but for the reader. Praise for Joan Houlihan:"Houlihan wields language like a weapon, carving out lines that are stingingly precise."--Ellen Wehle, West Branch "...original, energetic language that confronts various shades of darkness and captures the oddness of being alive."--Pamela Alexander, FIELD "...takes acuity and intensity of feeling not as its ends, but points of departure." --Michael Snediker, Pleiades "These poems touch on raw power in their invention..." --Keith Leonard, Indiana Review " ... a rough-hewn sensuality that is seductive and refreshing in this the digital age."--Sawnie Morris, Boston Review "...explores facets of contemporary loss and decline, letting language reveal what is deepest. ...."--Tayve Neese, Web Del Sol Review of Books ". . .  shines  with a serious lyrical burnish in which image and truth alike take on the luster of icons . ."--Chad Parmenter, American Book Review  " Adventuresome collections of contemporary poetry, take note: here's a writer to watch, so be in the forefront and purchase now."--Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal
