Come join the group on Monday, December 11th at 2 pm,
as we discuss Nina Riggs moving memoir
The Bright Hour - A Memoir of Living and Dying
*INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *
An exquisite memoir about how to liveand loveevery day with
death in the room, from poet Nina Riggs, mother of two young
sons and the direct descendant of Ralph Waldo Emerson, in the
tradition of When Breath Becomes Air.
We are breathless, but we love the days. They are promises.
They are the only way to walk from one night to the other.
Nina Riggs was just thirty-seven years old when initially
diagnosed with breast cancerone small spot. Within a year, the
mother of two sons, ages seven and nine, and married sixteen
years to her best friend, received the devastating news that her
cancer was terminal.
How does one live each day, unattached to outcome? How does
one approach the moments, big and small, with both love and
honesty?
Exploring motherhood, marriage, friendship, and memory, even as she wrestles with the
legacy of her great-great-great grandfather, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nina Riggss
breathtaking memoir continues the urgent conversation that Paul Kalanithi began in his
gorgeous When Breath Becomes Air. She asks, what makes a meaningful life when one has
limited time?
Brilliantly written, disarmingly funny, and deeply moving, The Bright Hour is about how to
love all the days, even the bad ones, and its about the way literature, especially Emerson,
and Ninas other muse, Montaigne, can be a balm and a form of prayer. Its a book about
looking death squarely in the face and saying this is what will be.
Especially poignant in these uncertain times, The Bright Hour urges us to live well and not
lose sight of what makes us human: love, art, music, words.
