Cathy Sosnowsky's poems stand testament to a grieving mother's love for her son who died in an accident, just days after his seventeenth birthday. Although these poems began as therapy, 'poetic medicine' for a wounded heart, the book is ultimately a celebration of the art of making, of the ability to find joy even in despair. A former college instructor of English, the author now works with other bereaved parents and gives workshops on writing as a means of healing.

It is remarkable how much a slim book of poetry can contain. -- Tom Dickey, Presbyterian Record, March 2002
One of the most beautifully written collections of poetry I have ever read... a poetic importance in its own right. -- Jane Renouf, The Compassionare Friends of the UK newsletter, Summer 2002
