Grief and Her Three
Sisters by Jerry Lovelady is a gorgeous collection of poems that capture
life, love, and loss. The first thing that catches the attention of readers
when they start reading Lovelady's poetry is his incredible ability to write
with clarity while allowing the fusion of nature with human emotion. And then
there are those moments that compel readers to reflect on insights about life
and the author’s wisdom. You'll find one as you open the first poem, “The Great
River Taketh.” It reads: ''In death
there is always life. / In a seed there is hope for life. /In our offspring
resides all genetic diversity.'' The collection is moving, powered by
strong streams of emotions and words to heal grieving hearts.
Jerry Lovelady's poetry stands out in its symbolism and the breadth of its
imagery. The author has the uncanny ability to capture the different seasons of
the heart while inviting readers to look past their hurts to discover a new
beginning in the ending. Each poem is unique, concise, and filled with wisdom.
Each poem is like a stream to drink from — fresh and invigorating. Each poem
reflects the confidence and freedom of someone who speaks from the depths of
things seen, touched and lived. Grief and
Her Three Sisters warms the heart, roaming a range of feelings and
emotions, from grief to epiphanies, from a strong sense of loss to acceptance. Grief and Her Three Sisters is a
readable book of poetry with a message that is resonant, poignant, and insightful.
This author has the ability to imbue his lines with arresting ideas while
offering beautiful images to delight readers.
