Loss and Invention (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798888388099)

Loss and Invention is a compelling journey of transformation. While the poetry bears witness to the pain of loss, both personal and universal, it equally uncovers resilience and solace in the natural world. With devoted attention to trees, the visitation from bears, wild turkeys, ravens...who reveal the Mysteries, the poems embody wisdom and offer signposts to discover light. As we travel with the words, we find ourselves at junctures where new languages must be invented, and we hear pleas for healing, both for the poet and for the beggar along the road; as well as Mother and Father. Finally, arriving at "a pond in dark forests," we can now "trust what we see: " and welcome our "own reflections."
