In Remembrance of the Life

A chapbook by Jane Rosenberg LaForge. 25 elegiac and unflinching poems that harvest a transformative beauty from the fields of memory and loss. Rosenberg LaForge points toward the beauty of inevitability; death is less an end than a step toward 'the infinite and you can/ no longer resist the distance.' Reading these poems is often akin to diving into a rainbow of saffron and petrol where the choices one makes may not be choices at all. -Leslie McGrath poet and author of Out from the Pleiades: a Novella (Jaded Ibis Press 2014) Reading In Remembrance of the Life is like reading Virginia Woolf if she were writing poetry-one image triggers another appearing to emerge from the unconscious...a book that the reader will return to again and again. -Chella Courington author of The Somewhat Sad Tale of the Pitcher and the Crow and Love Letter to Biology 250.
