My Resignation

How does one overcome the thought that past failures dictate future performance? Maureen Thorson''s second book of poetry follows a couple as they put their separate histories behind them and create a new life together. In My Resignation fragments of overheard dialogue close observations of the changing seasons and a wry sense of humor blend to narrate the transformation of doubts into certainties as past heartbreak is set aside with this motto: Proceed with caution but always proceed.
