Description

After many years of procrastination I, the author's son, has decided that it's about time that I share these works with all the people that love poetic reflections. This book of my mother's poems is truly a reflection of her life. Each of these poetic works is related to an event that she experienced during her lifetime.
Ann Kirsch, ne Donovan was a product of a devout Irish Catholic family that was framed in sadness and loss. However, as time went on she married a wonderful gentleman, Dick Kirsch, and raised their family. Both she and her husband loved most of their experiences raising a family, but it too was shrouded in difficult times. Ann drifted in and out of periodic bouts of depression which prompted her to put down on paper her emotional ups and downs that she experienced.
As we grew up we read her works and the name that always popped up in our heads was the poet Emily Dickenson. I leave to the readers of her works to draw their own conclusions.
As I read her poems it created individual reflections about my own life and experiences. I conclude with the thought that I hope each reader of Ann's thoughts and reflections will connect in some way to their own experiences.
