Love and loss are inevitable emotions, which everyone deals with over time. In order to love, one must accept the potential of loss. It’s sorrow that makes love more poignant. I’m proud to have two poems in a new anthology focusing on these important topics: What is All This Sweet Work?: A Poetry Anthology About Love and Loss, out now from Vita Brevis Press. Both my poems focus on loss (you’re shocked, right?). “The Weight of My Being” is about grieving a loved one and “Shadow of My Former Self” centers on the loss of love. Copies are available in paperback and e-book from Vita Brevis on Amazon.
