A book of love and grief that shows how memory is the sharp needle that sews the fabric of our lives together again. As Thelma Reyna writes so beautifully, This is how we sink, to rise, how brokenness is patched together again. Dearest Papa is a solid, humble testament of how each millisecond of life expands into a bigger story that represents all of us....a deep, detailed poetic account of love and coupling.... Thelma Reyna's tribute to her late husband is transcendent. It is a heartfelt look at fifty years of marriage: the misunderstandings, the grief, and through it all, the abiding love. Thelma Reyna's Dearest Papa, a splendid eulogy to her husband, is composed of delicate poems of scenes from their life together and the meaning of love and caring....a lyrical bouquet of joyful memories and difficult moments of loss. The book's five-part structure travels in a rising range of emotions, both lows and highs. These tales and poems are unforgettable, and like the subject of loss, universal and yet somehow uplifting. Reyna's recipe for healing includes finding solace in nature. Reyna has pinned down lovely with these beautifully crafted memoir poems. This is a collection of grieving and healing after losing her 'Dear Papa, ' her husband, Victor, after fifty years of marriage. They are intimate, personal poems, and when you finish, you'll want to kiss someone you love.
