What language brings us deep into questions we can never resolve? Elegies open us, challenge us, sometimes restore us. In these elegiac poems, Peggy Shumaker honors those gone before us, those nearly done, and the unending life we pass on. With compassionate insight, Shumaker reminds us that while grief endures, it can be embraced, allowing for profound growth and deeper understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeggy Shumaker\u003c\/strong\u003e is the daughter of two deserts--the Sonoran desert where she grew up and the subarctic desert of interior Alaska where she lives now.
