True Blue - Hardcover

by Susan Scheid (Author)

This book was built around poems written about and during the pandemic. Broken into three sections, the first one asks us to look at what we may have lost during that time, connections we longed to have-memory, ancestors, family. The middle section describes the struggles and hard feelings many experienced: isolation, grief, chaos, depression, eventually leading us to a path of resilience, strength and hope. The book ends with praise poems that show how hope can be found in the smallest thing, and in the big questions we ask. These poems navigate life's struggles and remind us that in end we are stronger for having lived through them.
