A House that Falls
"A House that Falls" examines the way the mind works through the fogged lens of Alzheimer's disease; the way memories, relationships and even language itself disarticulates; the way we perceive and misperceive ourselves, our loved ones and our own histories; and how we learn to survive inside these strange and fluid worlds.

Praise for this book
There's something radiantly deep in the poems.... Something luminous and haunting, familiar yet magnetically charged, potently mysterious.
Naomi Shihab Nye
Sean Nevin understands the paradox of using language to capture its unraveling. In heartbreaking poems that chronicle Alzheimer's, he probes the power of memory and the tragic beauty of its demise... 'A House that Falls' is a poignant and evocative chapbook.
