Sandy Carlson's 11th book of poetry features poems that emerge from the struggle to cope with the loss of a mother.

“Since my mother passed on November 4, 2019, I have faced the challenge of finding for myself the centering force that she once provided for me and for my family,” Carlson says when describing the impetus behind the collection as well as the creative concept running through it.

"I don't feel I can create a single thing without my love for my mom at the heart of my motivation.  But it's not about grieving loss the way it was five years ago.  Now it's about seeing the love she taught me in all that I see.  She didn't invent love; she recognized and honored it.  That is what I am trying to do," says Carlson.
