The Widow's Lovers

The Widow's Lovers is an original and lyrical take on the emotions of widowhood and moving on.

She is funny, poignant and incisive. A delightful read and helpful guide to the emotional storms you battle as you move beyond grief to a new love. Anyone who's been widowed will relate.

With the possible exception of music, it's hard to imagine any other form of art that takes in the rise and fall of our personal feelings more capably than poetry. Poets understand that we ride the wave of our feelings of desire and loss, companionship and tragedy, jealousy and regret. Our feelings define who we are more accurately than any abstraction, mission, or group. Pamela understands this principle intuitively, and her beautifully honed and accessible poems are a testament to the power of poetry to affect us, to the knowledge that we live to the extent that we feel.
