A poet of the personal, Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas' book In the Making of Goodbyes takes us to the land of the heart, a transformative journey where in looking at the difficult turns of events in a life, we are tutored in humility, grace, and tenderness...Her imagery and emotion uplift and fortify. There's a flow to these poems and once in the current, you submit willingly, her voice so intimate that it feels as if she is speaking to you and only you: "Even now as you visit me in dreams, / I stroke the outline of an unseen being/ and hear the hymns of angels." To Grellas, relationship is everything-to nature, loved ones, the self. Her poems acknowledge our vulnerability as humans yet demand that we own up to the strength we have to embrace whatever life brings us.
