Candles in the Dark: Poems to Grieve, Hope and Love Again

By Maria Hilda Piñon

Eloquent and original, this album of stanzas and verses shimmers and resonates with soulful, poetic song. Sorrow and tears ripple through the heart of the lyrics, yet the buoyancy of beauty, solace and peace, contemplative hope, pleasure, joy, and keen insight glisten like brilliant stars against a dark-filled sky.

The fabric of the poems is emotionally exuberant as well as thoughtfully creative and imaginative.
