In this vivid collection, two journeys into solitude and wilderness (one literal and one metaphoric) prove to be a threat and a promise for the survival of a lifelong love.
Love is ever mysterious. Anyone who has suffered loss, of romantic love or something else held dear, will deeply appreciate this honest tale of soulmates who lose their central point of connection: shared faith. Laurie Klein’s poems map grief, fear, anger and confusion. Questions arise—and a possible key: tenacious exploration and a willingness to see her journey mate for who he really is and what he has truly found through his love of the wilderness. Against a backdrop of rich natural settings, Klein takes her own parallel journey into solitude and wilderness. And there, perhaps, hope for the future is born.
