The Past - Holding on -Letting Go: A Story in Poetry

Corinne Edwards takes us through the years of her life in the republish/rewrite of her first book of poetry which has been out of print for years and owns the rights, From beginning to end, it reads like a story. With emotion and transparency, she reveals a period of her life, the challenges in coping with the deaths of her son, mother and husband. She includes us in her early days, musings, disappointments and even her love affairs. It culminates with her philosophy about loss in her final poems. Resource Networks, Inc., a group of grief psychologists, was the original publisher. Kenneth Moses Ph.D, lead seminars all over the country and other venues of the world, training colleagues in his field on how to deal with their patients in grief. He often used Corinne's poetry in his presentations. That audience, and their requests for copies of the poems, prompted their publishing of the whole body of work. Dr. Moses won an Emmy for his presentation at Misericordia, a facility in Chicago which offers a community of care for persons with mild to profound developmental disabilities. Corinne's poems have been published in the Chicago Sun Times, North Shore Magazine, Poetry Today and was a winner in a Chicago Fine Arts poetry contest. She has included some of them in her other published books
