Books by Andrea Perry

Andrea PerryÕs RISE is poetry that maintains a fierce and unflinching hope in the midst of the worldÕs fracture and dislocation. It looks fixedly at social, political, and environmental violence, but never falters in its insistence that other ways of being are possible, that moments of true relation and wholeness might be found, even if only in unexpected ways. It moves frequently by drawing connections between apparently disjointed images and opposed ideas, provoking a surprising sense of unity among what appears to be scattered and disparate elements. In this way it speaks intimately to the complexities of living with both conscience and hope in the world today.

Experiencing claustrophobia can be terrifying. Each person who is claustrophobic copes with their fears differently. In this book, the author speaks of her own experiences, as well as drawing on the views of others whose claustrophobic feelings have affected their lives. It paints a picture of the challenge of dealing with claustrophobia.
