Evening Sun: A Widow's Journey

Through her poems in Evening Sun, Aline Soules reflects on her journey through widowhood, chronicling her emotions--despair, anger, longing, love, reconciliation.

“Aline Soules’s journey through widowhood, Evening Sun, is told in concise, illuminating poetry. Her chapbook offers a navigable path through the pain of loss into a world of hope.”
—B. Lynn Goodwin, author of You Want Me to Do WHAT? Journaling for Caregivers and Managing Editor of Writer Advice

“Soules infuses “Notes” from famous composers throughout Evening Sun, providing a counterpoint to memorable moments with her husband. Her poems are evocative and luminous. Her heartbreaking, sudden widowhood is played out in the pedestrian details of daily life alone—rinsing dishes, observing nature she once shared with him—in language that speaks to readers’ universal experience of loss.”
—Ann Damaschino, poet and novelist
