No Sins of Omission is Myra Binns Bridgforth's debut collection. In it she tells and shows us what it is to be stuck, not able to move forward or backward. In the next moment, unstuck shows itself as redemption and putting one foot in front of the other and breathing. From her thoughts and ruminations of loss and longing and playful celebration of ordinary moments in time, we are transformed by the human spirit that keeps on. These poems are funny and heartbreaking at the same time, displaying the mystical and everyday, the bodily experience and fully engaged brain attesting to our need to make things mean something.The poems are complimented by Bridgforth's art pieces; photographs, altered book pages and mail art cards that mirror and interpret the words.
