Nightfall at Dawn

About the Book

Consistent with the poet’s lament in an earlier collection of poems, the book reflects the poet’s shock caused by his daughter’s death. The shock has evolved over time, during which the poet gradually accepts it as a fact of life. Dwelling on woe and desolation, resulting from the loss of a dear and loved one, the poet’s gloomy undertone is tempered by an optimistic rebound of love, fortitude, faith and hope. Coming to terms with nature and life’s routines is the instrument with which the poet copes with adversity on a triumphant note.
