Poetry. "Dive into Karen George's SWIM YOUR WAY BACK, a moving chronicle of the poet's life with her husband—two lives that intersect and entwine like cloverleaves (the opening poem's title) and ultimately again divide when his death, too soon from cancer, caused him to 'breach this life, frailties trickling off you like crystals.' George's first full-length poetry collection takes its readers into new awareness of language and life as she carries us on a journey—of a marriage, of cancer, and a literal journey as the couple takes a final trip together to and on Alaska's high seas. 'You shimmer endlessly,' George writes of her dead husband's appearance in a dream. These poems shimmer like light on water, like the right words illuminating the human experience."—Pauletta Hansel
