After the loss of my wife, Michele, in April of 2020 (we were together for fifty-six years), my heartache overwhelmed me. While in a hospice therapy session, I learned one method of healing was to write poetry and to date each one to show the progression of your healing. These poems are a result of that. I hope they help you possibly as much as they helped me.

En Algunas formas de amar, Charlotte Mary Mew no ofrece una definición del amor, sino una exploración poética, íntima y a veces desgarradora de sus múltiples rostros. El texto —más cercano a la poesía que a la narrativa convencional— revela cómo el amor puede ser fuerza, pero también fragilidad; salvación o sacrificio. En sus palabras se percibe el amor callado, el que no es correspondido, el que se da sin esperar, pero también el que desgasta, el que duele en silencio y el que se confunde con renuncia. Mew no idealiza, pero tampoco juzga: simplemente muestra.

Observing the fragility of the body and soul in a world of threat, these startling poems stem from a central boyhood memory—the author’s near-drowning in a swimming pool on Crete.

A journey through the ups and downs of love, heartache, heartbreak, loss, grief, and healing, this book reflects my inner most thoughts from my most recent years of life

This book is a collection of poetry centering heavily on practice of examining one's self, looking at once at one's actions and one's motivations, the examining of one's feelings. What are the things your heart longs for? How do you respond to situations when they go well or poorly? I believe that self-examination is important and needful in order to gain a godly perspective. The word of God and the life example that Jesus lived is the standard of how a life is to be lived.

The Back of Your Pickup: Poems of Love, Loss, and the Roads That Never Led Home. I remember the summer heat sticking to my skin, the radio humming a song we half-knew, and your hand tapping the steering wheel like you had nowhere to be but everywhere to go.

The Back of Your Pickup is a collection of poetry that lingers in the spaces between love and loss, between leaving and staying, between who we were and who we became.

To know that after the journey of waiting, my truth has set me free. I am Hilary Nili, and I survived.
