We are enriched by all of life’s experiences be they joy or heartbreak, shadow or light. Bavetta’s vivid images and metaphors invite us into these poems of love and sorrow. Without restraint, she shares the heart of a long and fulfilling marriage. Divided into four sections, each introduced by a brief poetic phrase, we experience the beginning of loss, the memory of joy, the final hours, and the courage to regain a life that continues alone.
