Whisper Forget Me Not: A Collection Of Poetry, Prose And Paintings

A collection of poetry and essays, inspired by Mali Mann's husband's decline from Alzheimers. Beautiful paintings too. She says that her painting and poetry open up a path to hope for her. "Many of these lyrical poems are steeped in sadness that leaves one feeling not depleted, but stronger, enriched, vitalized." Thomas Ogden, author "Even as Mali Mann's pen eases her sufferings ("planting them one by one in the garden") their passion and pain carry over again and again in these lines. That brooding, monolithic sense of silence, as witness to the responsiveness that slips slowly away, is anguishing. Yet hope peaks in those few, precious flickers of recognition and love passing across that heavy fog. And it does in other lines of loss: 'tell me how your courage is my wardrobe.'" Joseph Caston, San Francisco Psychoanalyst and Poet "Mali Mann's poems frequently migrate between self and other, now and the not-now, observer and the observed. Her moving work marks the quest to arrest attention with language and to ask important questions of it in turn." Forest Hamer, San Francisco Psychoanalyst and Poet
