“The Widow’s Handbook” at the Eastern Point Lit House Saturday June 20th
“Mainly through poetry, the compilers of this anthology have provided the words widows feel but often cannot speak. Fittingly, The Widow’s Handbook is both empathetic and encouraging. The poems speak first of the long days and nights consumed by mourning, then of the need to tackle the necessities of living without the support that once sustained them, and ultimately of the capacity still to seek the joys of being alive.” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice, Supreme Court of the United States
