Peering Into Infinity Mirrors of Love & Grief

This collection of poems arose in the aftermath of the author’s profound loss of his grandson Rory, who was killed at the age of 21 by a drunk driver in Wilmington, North Carolina. Confronted daily with the temptation to retreat from life, he instead turned to language as a way of moving through overwhelming grief—not as therapy, not as art, not in search of closure, and not to impose meaning on what remains senseless, but simply to give voice to the unendurable and to speak of it.
