Postcards to Shirlaine: Excerpts From a Love Story

By R E B

Book Overview

An intensely private collection of love poems and prose written over a time span of more than half a century, through the courtship, marriage and ultimately grief at the loss of one man's lifetime love and soul mate. Enchanting, powerful and evocative, Postcards to Shirlaine will make you smile and it will make you cry. Anyone who has experienced the joy of true love and the grief of losing someone will find empathy and solace in this very personal tribute. "Though intensely personal, a few friends and family urged me to let my verse be published because in some ways it expresses moments in their lives too. I was reluctant at first, but agreed in the hope that it may comfort those mourning a loved one by helping them see that anguish and confusion are normal and human, and that grief is not an illness to be cured or an injury to be healed, but an expression of enduring love." - R.E.B.
