Pages of Water and Iron

By Emily Laurel

This book of poetry details Emily Laurel's emotions and makes each poem picturesque. Readers will enjoy the variety in the selections that range from happiness to sorrow and from despair to hope. She applies the poetry directly to the events of her life. For example in "The Empty Chair" the phrase "I caught a glimpse of an empty chair" represents her loneliness before her divorce. The sequel "The Empty Chair (13 years later)" has the phrase "The chair is rocking on and on" and this represents in a lighthearted fashion her life of frustration after remarriage. "Twas the Night Before Tabe Came" tells the story of her firstborn son who died at the age of 3 months. On a more hopeful note "I Am Getting Better" reflects hope and peace to her soul after losing a job. Emily Laurel selected the title Pages of Water and Iron with the thoughts that some of the poems are refreshing like water and some show strength (like iron) of character.
