These gorgeous poems--joyful, furious, mournful, bewildered, sexy, devastated, whimsical and above all, moving--composed in sonnet sequences and in open forms, designed in four movements (After, Before, When, and Afterglow)--illuminate both the role of the caregiver and the crystalline emotions one can experience after the death of a cherished partner. With her characteristic virtuosity, her fearless willingness to confront even the most difficult emotions, and always with buoyancy and zest, Peacock charts widowhood in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom \"Touched: \"\u003cbr\u003e After you died, I felt you next to me, \u003cbr\u003e and over months you entered gradually\u003cbr\u003e into that lake and disappeared.
