Lessons in Buoyancy is a book about women’s lives, and their transformation through time. Divided into three parts, The Maiden, The Mother, The Crone, it’s based upon the Celtic archetype of the Tri-Goddess. Each section contains poems that explore joy, loss, endurance, and continuing rebirth. The book recognizes the value of growing older, of embracing the 'Crone', (revealed here as a being of wisdom and grace), but it’s written for women of any age. If you’re a woman seeking to understand your journey, this book is for you. You will find a kinship of women who share the mystery of the Tri-Goddess; the author invites you to commune with them as you read this poetry. That communion will be a unique, life altering experience.Early Praise:'Kristin Roedell is one of today’s finest emerging poets; Lessons in Buoyancy is a lyrical exploration of the author’s journey from youth to elder, maiden to crone. Her work is both personal and universal, expressing hard truths through forceful imagery. Here the author explores girlhood, motherhood, the death of her own mother, and a lifelong face-off with mental illness. Few contemporary poets write about mental health issues with more perceptivity than Kristin Roedell. These poems-these women-matter; they are essential and irreplaceable. Lessons in Buoyancy is a lifeline, and a welcome tonic.' -JANA HARRIS, poet, novelist, essayist, Pushcart Prize winner, author of Horses Never Lie About Love
