    About this ebook

    Better to Have Lost is a dramatic yet human experience that deals with loss. Bekah Stogner writes from a place without lights in hopes of finding a catalyst for change. The voice in these poems look for light and ponder how the passing of others can shape the lives of those still walking the planet. What we learn is the death is always around us, waiting, whether we feel it or not, and it demands to be acknowledged.

      It is August of the year 2000, and I am cold. I know the sun is shining outside, but there are no windows in the courtroom. The lighting is subdued, darker in the back where spectators sit and lighter in the front where tragedies play out—like a the
