Silk Flower Goodbye is an exploration of the mixed emotions felt in the wake of bereavement. Delving into the heartache, the uncertainty, and the anger of the situation, the poet seeks catharsis on the page. They hope for resolution and a sense of peace in the examination of the mundane, and paint a familiar picture in hues of love and longing. Written in memory of loved ones lost between 2015 and 2019, this collection of poetry explores themes of love, life, and loss.
