Even In The Grief

Even In The Grief is a poetry collection on finding hope while grieving ambiguous loss. Carter's poems explore the tension of love and loss, strength and pain, despair and hope. The book is divided into four sections: Shock, Reckoning, Peripheral Losses, and Permission. These sections and their poems both mirror and question the conventionally understood process of grief. This collection invites the reader to reckon with loss and rediscover hope, Even In The Grief.

Mourn by peeling
Petal by petal
All that you thought would be
There comes a day when the flower is bald
Unrecognizable
Much like me
