It is through these unfiltered and unedited poems that the reader understands how she processes her thoughts on topics that go far beyond the grief and shock triggered by the sudden death of her only sibling. It includes memories, regrets, and existential questions. All of these emotions are felt under a nurturer's pressure to rebound while honoring love and the promise of keeping a secret.

The difficulty with the last: forfeiting emotional validation. The motivation: love deserves that sacrifice. The result: from the writer's internal audience: "As a Fool and Her Love Were Parted."

The post As a Fool and Her Love were Parted appeared first on Writers and Authors - Book Reviews, Book Tours and Author interviews.
