poems of a lifelong mourning work. The leftover son is forced to face a troubled family story so that he can reconcile with the inability of a secure mother's gaze. It was determined to bring to him the departed, the silenced, and the creative restoration not only create order among the flowing mementos, but also a pledge of a fresh start. The obscurity of the past and the vividness of dreams open up space for the mythical layers of perception, so that the confessional poems connect with the opening prayers of each cycle, which can be directed to various mother goddesses and female saints by the speaker who trusts the higher forces and even the reader who speaks the poems.
The volume can be purchased on the spot. The author autographs.
