Book: Inside The Halo And Beyond: The Anatomy Of A Recovery From a celebrated poet and horsewoman comes the journal of her astonishing recovery after a nearly fatal accident. Kumin tells of her time "inside the halo, " a head immobilization device, as this harrowing yet heartwarming story of a fighter and survivor unfolds.
In July 1998, when Maxine Kumin's horse bolted at a carriage-driving clinic, she was not expected to live. Yet, less than a year later, her progress pronounced a miracle by her doctors, she was at work on this journal of her astonishing recovery. She tells of her time "inside the halo, " the near-medieval device that kept her head immobile during weeks of intensive care and rehabilitation, of the lasting "rehab" friendships, and of the loving family who always believed she would heal.
