<p>Bonnie Thurston''s <i>Forgotten Futures: a memoir</i> is a tender heart''s cry and a passionate celebration in one. There is deep poignancy and longing here, but not a mawkish or maudlin word. We travel in two landscapes - the world inhabited with wonder for each small detail, and the internal world of half a couple, observing both the relationship''s moments of grace, joy and intimacy and those of wounding, longing and loss. In supple, accessible language, honed to beauty, these poems resonate with a sense of the sacredness of small things and the transforming power of memory. <br><br>''When Love Is Passed''<br><br>When love is passed to you<br>on a bone china plate<br>like Petits Fours on a doily,<br>accept with gratitude.<br><br>Life holds enough<br>awful, heavy crockery,<br>and we have all eaten<br>more than our share of sand.</p>
