Poems on family, illness, and uncertainty
Kevin Lane Dearinger’s collection brings together poems about the pressures and changes named in its description: growing older alone, grieving, facing an uncertain future, and coping with cancer. Family, fear, and love sit alongside loss, Covid, and the strain illness can place on how people behave. The subject matter makes this a personal poetry collection grounded in experiences of vulnerability and difficult transitions.
