Poetry, chapbook, 28 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

The Absence of His Words is a chapbook with sequence poetry similar to those by Selema Hill. The poems have smaller units with titles of their own. It is kind of like sequence haiku. It is about my husband, family, friends, an imaginary person, two famous people and my therapist. The poems are edgy and bold but they are executed with love.

There are ten poems with six sections in each. The poems stretch the truth but are honest responses to the people they depict. In other words, they are figuratively true. Each section of the poems can stand alone, but to understand the person the full sequence is necessary.

Marjorie Sadin has published five books of poetry including three chapbooks The Cliff Edge by Modern Images and Struck by Love and In a Closet by Goldfish Press and two full-length books Vision of Lucha and Your Breath: Selected and New Poems also by Goldfish Press. She has been published in numerous magazines including Chrysanthemum Anthology, Snakeskin Press, Nailed Magazine, Poetry Pacific, and Door is a Jar among many others. She won the Vivian Nellis Creative Writing Award. She lives and reads her poetry in Washington DC.
