Living with Waves is a collection of poems which explores the complexities of loss and how a grief journey changes shape over time. Within each poem are unique moments of mourning brought on by loss through suicide, cancer, and dementia. The speaker confronts a discomfort with death and questions grieving rituals in American society. A societal tendency to avoid difficult conversations surrounding death informs how people experience grief. This collection encourages readers to start these conversations within themselves and with those they are grieving alongside.
