Review & Description
Marilyn Haight's free-verse poetry lays bare the unspoken thoughts and emotions we experience as we grow older. While some of her poems are humorous, all deal with serious subjects, such as living in an aging body; dealing with ongoing loss; and looking toward a future that's shorter than the past. These poems can make you laugh, or give you permission to cry about things that change our later lives in ways that make us feel happy and sad, connected and lonely, complete and unfinished--conflicting emotions that reside in our being, whether or not we want them. Her use of everyday language is deceiving in that the whole of each poem is greater than the sum of its parts, guiding you to an unexpected place. Read more
