Summary

"Across My Kitchen Table"

Shared only among friends for years,

my poems now travel to strangers.

Not without trepidation, I offer each one

as I would a cup of coffee to a guest,

hoping words will heal broken hearts

while we unravel our webs of grief.

This is a small book for the small hours when we sit alone in the dark or feel as though our grief isolates us. Although we all travel sorrow’s path at some point in our lives, many of us walk that road alone and bewildered, failing to reach out to grasp the waiting hand of a fellow traveler.

In the months following her husband’s sudden death, Sally Rosenthal explored her reactions to loss and came to realize that strength is a synergetic wisdom woven from the love passed on through the examples of relatives and beloved animals. In poems and prose, she shares what she has learned about survival and resilience. Come sit with Sally at her kitchen table and share the journey.
