Before & After: Poems of Love & Grief - Paperback

by Lisa McAllister (Author)

McAllister confronts the loss of her first-born son from overdose. These poems, written over the course of his lifetime and after his untimely death, weave in and out of the past, flow into a bleak present and hint at a much different future than she ever imagined. A mother's infinite love interspersed with anguish and heartache, this book is a life-cycle of grief.
