<p>Joanne M. Clarkson's <em>Hospice House</em> is as much a collection about love deep compassion and generosity as it is about death and dying from the perspective of a hospice nurse. These are poems of grit grace wisdom and healing. Anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one will experience a kinship with Clarkson's powerful poignant and uplifting work. </p><p>~ Lana Hechtman Ayers author of <em>When All Else Fails</em></p>
