Publisher's Synopsis
Flowers for the Living is a memorial collection of the poetic oeuvre of Solana Chemin-Luz deLamant (aka: Sunny D'Lamant) who passed away due to an inoperable brain tumor. There are many pleasures in life; one of life's most precious is discovery. Sometimes in discovering the voice of another poet, as with the encountering of a beautiful voice singing, one is compelled to stop, listen, and viscerally enjoy what is being heard. Sunny has such a voice. And, once you stop to listen, you are rewarded with singular beauty and depth of phrase. Her words take you, and you enjoy the trip regardless of the destination, which like all wonderful poetry, leaves you in a different place; you know you are not where you started. As Ms. d'Lámant has said of herself, "I am not a roadblock, I am the road." The same may be said of her poetry. There is no impediment, only journeyI am especially gratified to present this collection of Sunny's poetry for your enjoyment. rjs
