"Though this collection deals with a range of disturbing issues--the AIDS epidemic, aging, suicide, psychological aberration, and the violence of contemporary America--it is rich with the "aid and comfort" of compassion, truth, and a language of survival. Immersed in the shared experience of sorrow, the poems rise above mere confessions of grief to speak in a voice of dignity and hard-earned wisdom"--Dust jacket flap.
