Roethke's Waking Personal Edit
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
We think by feeling what there is to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
What falls away is always. And is near.
To you and me; so take the lively air,
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I feel I think I learn I go I fall I hear
My sleep and fear the more the end can care

THE SENTENCE
Louise Erdrich's novel is an ideal bilbliotherapeutic experience on so many levels. As a post pandemic, post Rump reader (though honestly, it's hard to know how post), I am moved by the depictions of emotional shock and confusion. Having felt those same things so recently personally, while reading, I felt catharsis bubbling up like peroxide from an infected wound.
The year we had our faces shoved into unspeakable fascist reality captured on cell phones and could not look away... The year I Can`t Breathe was heart- stoppingly impressed in our minds and our consciousness was forever changed.
However, Erdrich doesn't stop at social awareness for these two overwhelming issues alone, rather they are presented as an aside almost, as backdrop to issues that are all part of the sociological mess embroiled in the summer Minneapolis burdened with its rascist/colonial history.
So much to say about the rightness of this book for helping us process the fear, anger, despair but instead I just encourage all to read it for yourselves instead of my rambling review as diatribe.
As a (retired) librarian and obsessive/compulsive reader : ), I soaked up book and author referals sprinkled throughout gleefully and feel they need sharing as widely and indiscriminately as possible.
Reading can help us work through our tumultuous histories, both cultural and personal. We are all connected on the space time continuum. We rise and fall as one magnificently complex living organism sharing our breath as one inhalation/exhalation until our spirit is free.
