The Time I Didn't Know What to Do Next

by J. Stephen Rhodes

These are the poems of a survivor. The book opens with the crushing loss of a loved one -- the poet's daughter -- to suicide. In the aftermath the world seems changed. One does not know what to do anymore, what to believe in. These poems show us the labor and meaning of a poet's deep listening to the world. In such listening one finds something akin to salvation.

Steve is a friend of mine, so I am making no attempt to be objective in my rating.
