The Open Door is a tender yet fierce meditation on the drag and draw of family, the bane of urban living and the palliative of nature. ABOUT THE AUTHORSandi McRae Huszagh's poetry started her fourth career. As editor, professor and entrepreneur, she faced decades of tough material challenges. As poet she draws from heart-searing life events-her youngest son's accidental death at 13, multiple cancers and a near-fatal drowning in the brackish waters of South Carolina. She considers close family relationships-her husband of sixty years, two entrepreneurial sons, their equally entrepreneurial partners and five amazing grandchildren-her most enduring achievement. ADVANCE PRAISEMystic, mourner, mother, Sandi McRae Huszagh has returned with a second collection of poems that glow like ghosts. These poems stitch together the unseen world with precision and tenderness. The Open Door gives us passage through a singular voice in magnificent orbit.-Sabrina Orah Mark, author of The Babies, Tsim Tsum and Wild MilkSandi McRae Huszagh's poems weep and dance with the holy grit and grace of being human. Take your time with each and every poem; they have been polished just for you.-Lisa Starr, Rhode Island Poet Laureate Emerita, author of three books including Mad With Yellow | The Open Door by Sandi McRae Huszagh, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
