Publisher's Synopsis
Like an Eagle. A book of poems about one woman's experience with the grief of losing her father. Regardless if it was eighteen days or eighteen years the pain is still trapped inside of us.
Alta tells her tale of this time in pieces of micropoetry. Each poem cuts a piece of her heart off and places it on the paper for us. Each memory a tear shed a smile unveiled, A moment we would trade our weight in gold to have again. Pictures of her daddy's nickname in the pages remind her of her love for him. I know for eighteen years each eagle's cry either brought a warm fuzzy feeling or a single tear. Love sometimes is funny,
What we will do to show it. Some will build a mausoleum while Alta does what writers do, She places her heart between two covers and hopes others can understand this loss without losing the ability to smile again. May his soul fly with eagles eternally. May you read this book taking the time to pause and enjoy life.
