DESCRIPTION:
Taryn Nikolich said Thompson Finds Happiness in Death. The Golden Hour by Sue Ellen Thompson follows the death of one woman as it coincides, or perhaps even causes, the emancipation of another. Her mother's cancer diagnosis and eventual death becomes an experience for Thompson of reflection and acceptance. Rathe. "Stunning" according to Auntie Annie. I first read one of Sue Ellen Thompson's poems when she won first place in a contest and was published along with the other winners in the sponsoring journal. The poem seized me. I immediately bagan looking for her books. This one is the second I have purcha. "A truly wonderful collection to go back to time and time again!" according to Robert S. Spencer. This is a collection of poems that speaks to those of us of the sandwich generation. There is so much letting go that we must practice and the author gives us heartfelt illustrations of her struggles and steps along this path.
In Sue Ellen Thompson's fourth book of poems, the acclaimed poet explores relationships between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, the past and the present.
Thompson never met an embarrassment she didn’t like, but she wisely stops just short of a breakthrough revelation.”—Barrett Warner, Loch Raven Review. “The lessons in these poems are subtle, but poignant. Afraid of loss?—‘Don’t you worry your pretty little head.’ Many of these poems inveigle us to treat failure, personal and physical, with dignity and to relish the absurdities of life
