[ 5.0 stars ] "Written each year on the anniversary of his wife's death, this book demonstrates the process and permanence of grief. In the poems we find themes of a relationship, of moving on and moving back. For those who have suffered loss of a spouse, it is a very personal look into another's feelings, one which is more complex than that which is normally offered in books about loss. The book can ..."

[ 2.0 stars ] "I'm amazed at all the positive reviews. There are a few good poems in this volume, but so much of it is just special pleading.

[ 5.0 stars ] "Boy meets girl, girl bites boy, boy marries girl and they live happily ever after... for a year or two.In a world where people are either "Team Ted" or "Team Sylvia", this quiet little book goes beyond the fame that both poets came to, and takes us the reader to the moments where there was love, fear, caution, submission and failure. It shows us that once they were simply "Ted and Sivvy", and that ..." Courtesy by Amazon
