A normal life. To be a good person. To be loved by someone. To have a home and enough food. That's what Sandy wanted. But simple wants can become unimaginable challenges.
Meanwhile, the world can deliver undreamt-of beauty, then abruptly turn upside-down.
The real-life storyline through this series of poems (a variety of short forms in everyday language) follows what Sandy thought was an ordinary existence, starting as a typical girl in upstate New York. Maybe her family had more strife than usual, maybe they moved more than most, maybe she was lucky to find a perfect husband and move to an island. Perhaps every bit of Sandy's experience was of use, yet nothing could prepare her for the midlife events that devastated her world and kept on coming.
Even as a youngster, she was absorbed with big questions - What is good? - What does home mean? - How does love work when the worst happens? (Readers will find their own questions echoing.) Answers fail when everything suddenly tilts, then shifts, shifts again, and again, like tsunami-on-tsunami.
Amid breaking waves, what can Sandy find to stay afloat?
The Grace of Curves A Memoir in Poetry Sandy Thompson Books
The Grace of Curves is a beautifully written walk through Sandy Thompson's life. Walking with us she reveals her innermost thoughts and feelings as her world spins, tilts, and sometimes collapses. Her poems are filled with creative expressions and vivid images such as "Love is a fathomless green river, feeding vines with endocrines, filling stems with chemicals--addiction slipping between sheets . . ." As an aspiring poet myself, I will be returning to Sandy's poems for inspiration.Product details

The Grace of Curves A Memoir in Poetry Sandy Thompson Books Reviews
I started savoring this book of poetry at bedtime after having purchased the book from the author at a library event. The use of language is fantastic, and I am transported into the feeling state of the scenes being described. With an economy of words, these poems distill down to a direct, clear way of getting to know the person telling the stories. Here's one line from one poem as an example "she rails against the numb slow teeth of days."
Sandy is incredibly gifted in words and word pictures. I read Grace of Curves and was told it would probably take me a few days. Not being a poet, I picked it up and read it from beginning to end in one setting. I didn't want to put it down because the story flowed through all the hardships. It was easy to see she'd been through a lot and yet, by her writing, you can tell she came through stronger than ever. Poetry at its deepest.
