Publisher's Synopsis
Life has its 10,000 sorrows and 10,000 joys. Yet we can be too loyal to our sorrows and let them crowd out the beauty of life. This collection explores the creativity of joy and mercy in the face of the unbearable and irreversible. From the pain of life in America to the cliffs of the Wild Atlantic Way, to an ancient fortress in Old San Juan and the gardens of Burgundy, the poems re-teach us our loveliness in spite of the wars of life.
