Aftertaste is a collection of poems written by a woman attempting to come to terms with the sudden death of her husband. Feeling lost and alone, she seeks solace in her grief. As she tries to stay afloat among the flood of emotions pouring forth, she finds a measure of comfort in the words emerging from her sorrow. Trying to adjust to the new role of widow that fate has cast her in, she withdraws into herself and attempts to overcome her battle with depression. Now she must reach deep within herself and find the strength to move forward. The author describes her poetry as laymans poetry. Written in a clear, direct style with a subtle touch of imagery, the reader is brought into the authors experience. Aftertaste is a book for all to read and nestled within its pages are the steps of a journey on which we must all someday embark.
