This poetry book is a reaction to my wife Deborah Glaefke Gilberts passing on June 6, 2017, from adenocarcinoma due to asbestos poisoning. The poetic form is a form I invented. I am calling it the Glaefke Sonnet. It is both a five-stanza ballad stanza and a Shakespearian sonnet; both forms contain 140 syllables. Every tenth syllable and fourteenth syllable rhyme. The work is very down to earth, raw, and visceral, determined to be as real as possible, for loss and grief are not very pleasant or joyful. And the misery and devastation go on forever, regardless of how much healing is ever possible. If this work can act as commiseration and justification for the feelings, reactions, thoughts, and impulses that come with loss and grief for all those going through similar ordeals in this grief and loss community out there anywhere in our world, then good.
