The Spacious Chambers Of Her Heart

by Diane Schoemperlen

Genres: General Fiction

Synopsis

Evangeline Clark has filled each chamber of her heart with a single thing she loves. The right auricle contains music—the left, language. The right ventricle houses colour and the left contains only her most secret love: light. It is with these beloved things that she fills not only her heart, but her entire life.

Forms of Devotion contains eleven stories, each one a brilliant interplay of words and images. Forms of Devotion is a playful, sometimes surreal, and often mysterious juxtaposition of a historical fascination with anatomy and classical themes with the author's contemporary exploration of everyday people, places, and things.
