By turns whimsical, meditative, and poignant, these poems examine the joys and sorrows of living. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first section offers a meditation on loss, as the author explores bereavements both personal and remote. From an elderly mother and her stroke-impaired son struggling to have a simple conversation, to a man coping with the breakup of his marriage, to strangers caught in the public tragedies of a flood or an act of mass violence, these are poems acknowledging that loss is inevitable, infused with grief, and borne with courage. The second section explores the turbulence, sensuality, and mysteries within a particular life. Speakers in these poems contemplate aging while on their way to see a Broadway play, recall a father's violence and a mother's selflessness, and explore the complexity of a world that seems impossible to comprehend. Together, the two sections suggest a poet looking back in contemplation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEd Falco lives in the mountains of Blacksburg, Virginia.
