“How many close calls before we become ghosts?” wonders Debbie Hall, the author of this collection, where she reflects upon her experiences—emotional, relational and spiritual—during her partner’s yearlong battle with a life-threatening illness. Threaded throughout these poems is the presence of the natural world—always a source of solace, but now more acutely and deeply felt.

Early Praise for Falling into the River:

“This collection is a celebration of life and love—a testament to treasure.”
—Lin Nelson Benedek, When a Peacock Speaks to You in a Dream

“Faced with a somber ‘unexpected detour,’ Debbie Hall has forged poetry that is deeply attentive and hopeful.”
—Rebecca Patrascu, Before Noon

“These are poems with spines. ‘Words you can barely form / with your own mouth, / vocabulary that you must now / make your own.’ Hall is gifted with a language that is rich in observation and conveys it with profound courage and tenderness.”
—Sam Roxas-Chua, Saying Your Name Three Times Underwater

“Language formed from ache, perseverance and enlightenment.”
—Jeff Walt, Leave Smoke
