Seven years after Angel Skin first appeared, The Secrets of Falling arrives as an older and wiser collection of 53 poems chronicling a woman's fall from grace, her climb back up, and everyone she met on the long way down. Written with equal parts razor and lipstick, Secrets includes poems that span nearly 10 years of falling and climbing and falling again. {Read "Matchstick Girl".} LaDonna collaborated with artist Kathy Azada on concept and design, ensuring that this is not your average poetry book. Featuring the photography of Patti Monaghen and Bruce Willems, The Secrets of Falling tells a story not only with words, but with moods and with moments and shadows of hope. |
