SONNETS OF GRIEF AND PRIDE

<p><strong>The book <em>SONNETS OF GRIEF AND PRIDE </em>is a collection of sonnets written by author Judith Weinshall Liberman when she was ninety-two years old. The book is Ms. Liberman's sixth book of poems. Before writing the sonnets presented in this book she had published five books of poems: <em>REFLECTIONS</em> (with her daughter Laura Liberman M.D.) in 2012 <em>PASSION</em> in 2013 and <em>SONNETS OF LOSS AND TRIUMPH</em> as well as <em>SONNETS OF PAIN AND FORGIVENESS</em> and <em>SONNETS OF SETBACK AND HOPE</em> in 2021. She had also published a book titled <em>ZINA </em>(2013)<em> </em>about her mother's life and poetry. In the present book Ms. Liberman juxtaposes the stories of three women each of whom lost a son: Sisera's mother the Virgin Mary and the author's own mother. With understanding and compassion the author illuminates the devastating effect of a son's death. This book conveys some of the important lessons Ms. Liberman has learned during her long life.</strong></p>
