To See You No More

The poems in “To see you no more” deal with loss in all its manifestations, from a lover’s lament to a widow surrounded, yet, by melancholy memories. These poems are an imaginative investigation of the heart, dealing with both a sweet resignation, as well as loss in its stronger forms of depression and grief. The speaker endeavors to understand loss not only through an honest investigation of her own heart, but through empathy towards all, be it that young widow observed in a coffee shop, an abandoned villa in Tuscany, the sense of finality that autumn brings, or Ophelia, meditating beside a stream.
