Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n The beloved author of Refuge<\/i> returns with a work that explodes and startles, illuminates and celebrates<\/b> Readers of Williams’s iconic and unconventional memoir, Refuge<\/i>, well remember that mother. She was one of a large Mormon clan in northern Utah who developed cancer as a result of the nuclear testing in nearby Nevada. It was a shock to Williams to discover that her mother had kept journals. But not as much of a shock as what she found when the time came to read them.<\/p>\n ‘They were exactly where she said they would be: three shelves of beautiful cloth-bound books . . . I opened the first journal. It was empty. I opened the second journal. It was empty. I opened the third. It too was empty . . . Shelf after shelf after shelf, all of my mother’s journals were blank.’ What did Williams’s mother mean by that? In fifty-four chapters that unfold like a series of yoga poses, each with its own logic and beauty, Williams creates a lyrical and caring meditation of the mystery of her mother’s journals. When Women Were Birds<\/i> is a kaleidoscope that keeps turning around the question ‘What does it mean to have a voice?’. First published April 10, 2012. Original format: ebook.
