Aileen Bassis's poetry collection, Among Sinners and Saints, builds on her lifelong practice as a visual artist. Bassis draws the reader to share her humane and empathic gaze through evocative language and striking imagery. Her poems explore a multitude of connections-from Greek mythology to French cinema, the pain and joy of love and marriage, to the ever present realities of grief and hope. She raises questions for us all and seeks to find meaning in our shared humanity in this, our fraught and divided time.
