Now is a collection of poems about coping with the death of a spouse of 24 years who suffered more than a decade with debilitating illness. Through these poems you get a glimpse of what it was like for the poet to break from the routine of care-giving that first summer as a widow. But instead of despair, you feel the resilience of this survivor who searches for a way to keep going. Now takes you on a journey of sorrow and hope.
