For Kaye Robert Hamblin

The 36 poems in For Kaye: The Afterlife continue the love story told in Darkness Descending, the book that chronicles the author's wife's long struggle with Alzheimer's. The beloved died on Good Friday, and the Easter narrative of death, burial, and resurrection becomes the pattern for the author's journey through grief, depression, and recovery. The book celebrates memory as a means of denying death and giving life and meaning to those who remain.
