SUDDEN SHADOWS 21 Poems of Love and Loss

<p>Sudden Shadows is poetry of the unexpected meditations on loss love faith transformation and resilience. Written after the death of the author's wife - and the heart attack he suffered several months later - these 21 poems are both personal and universal poignant and sometimes playful on subjects ranging from the aftermath of a devastating hurricane to the lessons a father left his son to the sudden death of a childhood friend. Although they often explore the shadowlands of human nature they are poems that leave the reader with a sense of hope as in the collection's closing words: Reminding us if only briefly what we started with. What we have left: a lifetime. </p><p></p>
