Editorial Reviews

Review

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

Product Description

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. It's about the ability to find joy, even in despair.

Includes drawings from Alex Sosnowsky's journals and sketchbooks.
