My Resignation

Beschreibung

Poetry. How does one overcome the thought that past failures dictate future performance? Maureen Thorson's second book of poetry follows a couple as they put their separate histories behind them and create a new life together. In MY RESIGNATION, fragments of overheard dialogue, close observations of the changing seasons, and a wry sense of humor blend to narrate the transformation of doubts into certainties, as past heartbreak is set aside with this motto: Proceed with caution, but always proceed.
