Allergies: Poems on Grieving and Loving

By Maggie Bowyer

Allergies plunges readers into a world where immense grief leads to mistakes, learning, and above all else, figuring out what love truly is.

The first chapter of Allergies, "Winter," deals with the loss of family, friends, and lovers; the second chapter - titled "Spring" - is about love after loss and reflects on the definition of love. The third chapter, "Summer," grapples with the mistakes we make amid grief - the moments we seek the warmth of others to soothe us and the people we hurt while we are hurting. In the last chapter, the loss has finally settled like leaves on the lawn in autumn; this chapter reflects on loss and how we can open our hearts to love after loss. More than anything, this chapter reminds us that love is compassionate, sensual, respectful, and above all else, honest.
