Reviews
"Alegría invokes the ancient gods and lovers time and again, and these simple lyrics of solitude and sorrow, with their haiku-like brevity, at their best achieve the purity and clarity of classical verse." -- Kirkus Reviews "...terse, exquisite, excruciating lyrics." -- The Boston Sunday Globe, "This is a book of wounded song, an elegiac account of a lover's grieving for the death of her beloved. Sensitively rendered into English... Sorrow distills powerful feeling, giving new life to one of poetry's oldest, most essential themes." -- San Francisco Chronicle "At a time when critics seem embarrassed by writing that displays any feeling, when technology increasingly seems to be the model for the body and brain, it is oddly comforting to read a book that devotes itself to understanding and experiencing the nuances of emotion." -- Rain Taxi, "...employing the Greek Myths, Alegría explores that twilight land between the living and the dead." -- Culture Watch, "...employing the Greek Myths, Alegría explores that twilight land between the living and the dead." -- Culture Watch "A deeply moving collection of poems..." -- Hartford Advocate

Synopsis
In Sorrow, Claribel Alegria plumbs the depths of grief and wrests hope from pain and memory in lyrics written as love letters to her deceased husband. The poems not only summon their shared past in vivid detail, but also ponder the meaning of death and separation, and the yearning for eventual reunion.

    The only dealer who was able to confirm that a CD included in the book was still present. Copy in near mint condition and packed well ( not thrown into a flimsy bubble bag). Very positive transaction!
