Jeanne Murray Walker's poems and essays have appeared in many periodicals, including Poetry, the Georgia Review, American Poetry Review, Image, the Atlantic Monthly, and Best American Poetry. Among her awards are an NEA Fellowship, eight Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Fellowships, a Prairie-Schooner Glenna Luschei Prize, and a Pew Fellowship in The Arts. She is Professor of English at The University of Delaware as well as a mentor in the Seattle Pacific University Low Residency MFA Program. In her spare time Jeanne aspires to garden, to cook, to travel, and to read novels.
The author describes how she found hope and joy through forgotten childhood memories while caring for her mother over thousands of hours as she suffered through the heartbreaking mental decline of Alzheimer's.
