Amidst the Wild Flowers: Poems on Love, Loss and Longing, explores the sacred landscape of grief through the metaphor of poetry. Through perseverance, persistence, poise and passion, the poet discovers that while much is lost after the tragic death of her husband by suicide, much still remains.... In the desolation that's the aftermath of a suicide, the poet wanders across her inner landscape. To her surprise and delight, Nature offers her infinite inspiration. Nature's resilience reinforces and reignites her own resilience and determination to reclaim her power and rebuild her life. She serendipitously discovers wild flowers, a metaphor for rediscovering meaning in her life, and for regeneration post trauma. This book of poetry is a companion volume to her grief memoir, Left Behind: Surviving suicide loss (2021).
