Award-winning journalist and author Michele Weldon offers a distinctly honest and articulate portrayal of the domestic violence she experienced in a nine-year marriage to a man many considered to be the perfect husband. As an assistant professor of journalism at the Medill School, Northwestern University since 1996, public speaker, journalist for magazines and newspapers and seminar leader for The OpEd Project, Weldon defies the mythology about abuse victims. She conveys a poignant portrayal of a woman caught in abuse and her victorious escape to raise her three children alone. Working to understand and explain why and how this would happen, she offers hope to all women with similar stories, modeling the courage to break free, move forward and live a joyful life full of love.

I Closed My Eyes is a book where honesty, humor, compassion, sympathy, and empathy are imperative, where words come alive leaving one with the feeling of moral satisfaction, awakening suppressed feelings within the subliminal tunnels of love and truthfulness. The virtuousness of my writing will challenge one's psyche, relating empathetically to the lives of those introduced throughout this poetic ride of emotion. I will expound on the trials and tribulations of distress that most, if not all humanity is dealing with or has dealt with during life. In addition, my poems are to create a stage of play, heighten a climatic impulse, and draw one's soul close to the reality of what he or she is reading. My written language is a form of expression, expressing what one is feeling inside, yet having not the words to express such feelings as love, pain, confusion, confessions and the mere suggestion of being sick and tired of being sick and tired. Therefore, I give personal as well as therapeutic literature to the reader rhythmically with the hope of a new tomorrow, stitching torn esteem, renovating damaged confidence, securing all insecurities and giving pain a shape to better recognize and deal with. Most importantly, I'd like to inform the reader that no one is alone in this massive world of decisions. After reading the poetic literature from my soul one will think I'm writing about him or her directly. I have titled this book I Closed My Eyes because before I knew how to accept the reality of what I was facing, I closed that part of me wishing that it would all have gone away when I opened them. To no avail, my eyes opened and the situation remained. Closing my eyes inspired me to see within and face reality through poetry.

I Close My Eyes in the Dark is a collection of eclectic short stories, memories, one poem and other life thoughts. They are all about looking for the positive in every life situation. When we look, humor often presents itself. Each short story is a life experience that in some situations are dire. But a change in attitude changes everything and permits one to see the ‘up’ side of life. Sometimes the insight and awakening will seem absurd, sometimes profound. I’ve heard it said that one’s life is what one’s thoughts make it. I agreed and therefore live with the vision and if there is so much negative in life and in our experiences, then there must be an equal amount of positive. One cannot exist without the other. It is the heart that matters.

Delusion, dementia or discourse? A daughter insists on the latter, and with the threads of her mother's narratives weaves for them a raft of words. These conversations, unlike anything I'd shared with her before, shocked me. I was glad they happened only when we were alone together. I'd never even thought these things I heard us say, didn't know where they came from. But since they seemed to make sense to her, I kept inviting her to speak. She'd say something, I'd listen, say something back;we were together in words. As if what we said to each other arose, not from our own learning or experience, but some underlying chord that included our voices but was bigger, spoke through them, as if the sound of the ocean were encoded in the sounds of the rain. I'll Close My Eyes(But I Won't Be Asleep)sounds an intimate, heartbreaking, and sometimes humorous, end-of-life chord in a mother and daughter relationship.A compelling memoir, I'll Close My Eyes(But I Won't Be Asleep)is an honest account of what, for most of us, remains hidden and unheard. It will be useful for anyone torn by conflicting desires and demands, battered by memory, grief and rage, and struggling to give care. Elisa Adler studied at the University of California, Berkeley, Mills College and, in Bogota, Colombia, at Centro de Estudios Colombo-Americanos. She has worked as a newspaper reporter, translator, interpreter, laborer and domestic, teaches English and Spanish at colleges in California and Nevada, and farms with her daughter and husband in the northern Sierra.
