Waves: poems on grief is a spare, focused poetry collection that gives voice an emotion we all feel at one time or another, yet is somehow always a difficult emotion to speak aloud.

Gloria Eid writes overtly in this collection about the loss of her father, but also about other kinds of grief, such as the pandemic shutdown we collectively experienced in 2020.

I read it in a sitting and enjoyed its nature-based imagery to explore this complex topic.

If you know someone in grief this holiday season, Waves might just be the conversation starter to signal to a loved one that you see them, and you care, and you're here to talk about their waves if that would help.
