Among the Dying Violets

Among the Dying Violets is Barb Shadow’s first collection of poetry. Described as raw and emotive, the collection moves through the themes of death and love with the passion of one who has lived through the worst and, eventually, best of times. In the span of three years, Ms. Shadow lost her mother, father and husband. Already a writer, she wove her emotions into words and chronicled the time from grief to acceptance, to strength. Among the Dying Violets spans this time from loss to finding love again. Truly inspirational, there is hope. A light at the end of the tunnel. A bloom among the dying violets.
