In First Light Lynn Hoggard has assembled her most recent and best poems. These are beautiful, touching, and painful accounts of Lynn and Jim Hoggard struggling with his Parkinson’s.

The book is an unusual series of poems that merge into a single long poem exploring the intensity and power of devotion, love and loss.

The poems suggest an emotional narrative of interwoven tender and difficult moments, yet each poem is a complete lyric in itself. Readers will want to mark and return to specific poems and will find themselves rereading pages at random.

In this remarkable book Lynn shares what she and Jim experienced during his final, inevitable human journey, one made more difficult and poignant by the ravages of Parkinson’s.

Lynn Hoggard makes masterful use of both free verse and traditional poetic forms, and she communicates feelings using numerous poetic devices, especially graphic imagery.
