Living in Kyoto for twelve years, she now makes her home in Portland, Oregon, where she hikes, swims, and creates flower arrangements for every room of the house.
I wanted so much from you, writes the poet. The estranged father plays semi-pro ball, swigs beer, wears thick work boots, doesn't show up for his daughter's First Communion. The other fathers are holding / their daughters' hands . . . I curl up my fingers / and watch the ants take over the sidewalk. Shadow Man is a deeply touching portrayal of love, loss, and forgiveness. --Penelope Scambly Schott, Oregon Book Award for Poetry In her new collection, Shadow Man, Margaret Chula writes about poignant, often painful, memories of her father. She provides rich details of both his physical presence, from his aftershave to his workingman's shoes, and the many ways his lack of understanding affected her emotionally. Through Chula's insights, we as readers can understand our own fraught relationships with parents. As adults facing honest memory, we can arrive at the grace of reconciliation that she shows is possible and essential for our own serenity. --Bill Siverly, author of Nightfall
