This is Pascale Gousseland's first chapbook.
This work would not have been possible without the support and love of
my parents, Pierre and Mireille who stood by me when I chose poetry as my particular
expression. Grateful acknowledgement to my husband John and the editors who published
me.
The artwork on the cover was created by Yuichiro
Shibata, my dear friend.

This is Pascale Gousseland's third chapbook.
Some of you may wonder "What is a Farandole?"
A Farandole is a lively, French dance in which men and women hold hands, form
a chain and follow a leader through a serpentine course. I think this evocation,
symbol of movement, love, energy can lead your imagination to roam with titled,
untitled, names, words, feelings, visions and thoughts. A trip in the visionary
world of poetry, the inspiration of which comes from the experience of life echoing
with the universe.
This book is dedicated to my Japanese, artist, friend, Yuichiro
Shibata whose paintings (the names of which are contained in my poem "Titles")
have been a rich source of inspiration.
American Japanese French...all Nation's people...let's share and dance the
Farandole of life.

This is Pascale Gousseland's sixth chapbook.
How many years does it take to recover from your own death? How many sorrows,
joys, abuses?
"The Chapter Is Closed" is the final book in a series of five dealing
with the long term recovery from a near fatal automobile accident ten years prior.
Pascale Gousseland is the survivor of that near death experience, an extraordinary
poet, two time recipient of the Gradiva Award, a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist,
native born Parisian and residing New Yorker.
Her path in this life is meant to provide inspiration and light for anyone
traveling a difficult journey with courage and hope.
John Copen

This is Pascale Gousseland's seventh chapbook.
In general, people are frightened by death because they lack understanding
of this mystery. Like the cessation of everything familiar...very scary... reaching
into the unknown, they find consolation and comfort looking for an explanation..."life
after death" when in fact it could be much easier to assimilate death as
a necessary part of living, evolving, metamorphosing, Let's consider that each
new belief learned is perhaps the death of one whose purpose has been served
and any kind of new truth is the continuity of the existence of the ones before,
this is the system of evolution, transmutation.
Every day a part of us is dying, knowing Death is knowing Life and Love. When
we rationalize death, saying it's inevitable, will happen to everyone, we feel
we are not really free until we think more about it and integrate with it. Our
goal is to accept and live with mortality instead of waiting for its coming.
My "near death experience" can be compared to entering the house
of death while living, being active, healthy and aware. It has taught me that
death should be and extraordinary moment...as vital as living, bringing us a
dimension to understand immortality, infinity, boundless time, transcendence
and another world which exists where we can be reborn...
