Poems on Loss

This book of poetry explores the meaning of loss and its connection to word, idea, metaphor, and experience. The boat has long been used as a vehicle for death, and here Robert Ives utilizes its capacity for evocation to poetically describe the breathing action of loss. This beautiful collection of 42 full-color poems will challenge the readers concept of poetry, while rewarding that challenge with deep introspection and indescribable clarity.
