In the poems in this volume, Sharon Charde shares with us some of the
anguish of her son’s death. Award winning poet Laura Boss observes her
father “smiling the smile/ that made the ladies/ move across the room to
him” and how “Too many women cried at my father’s funeral” in her poem:
/I Am My Father’s Daughter./<br><br>
Dr. Sara Cross offers us a unique perspective as an OB/GYN resident with
her sharp observations and ability to find beauty in her surroundings.
Renown Cardiologist Barry Zaret lauds Rabbi Richard Eisenberg in /Teach
Me./ Dr. Laura Manuelidis who has recently published her book of poetry
is represented with a lyric and musical the /Stab, /while Shula Chernoff
who also has a new book out enchants the reader with such lines as: “The
dahlia, like the woman who drew you to her, delicate with a spread of
brilliant petals.”<br><br>
Vivian Shipley never fails to stir our memories and move our hearts as
she does again in /Orphan,/ when at Thanksgiving ,her mind returns to her
mother, she frets “writing/ this poem is like tapping a code on a cement
wall/ not knowing if the cell on the other side is empty.”<br><br>
Doris Henderson implores us to have “a Victorian day” and Pat Mortolla
tells us / Lovers Always Say They’ll Never Leave You Sometimes You Should
Believe Them/, and that is only the title!<br><br>
