| Summary |
The poems in this book remind readers of the inevitable bond between art and empathy. With a language that finds its echo chamber in the immortal themes and characters of classical literature, this work accompanies the author on a journey through a parent's anguish in the face of a horrific crime. Using the art of poetry, this book gives voice to a suffering - and a love - that might otherwise go unheard |
