Still Water Carving Light tenderly navigates the depths of loss and memory. How does the awareness of death shape the ways we live? What language brings us deep into questions we can never resolve? Elegies open us, challenge us, sometimes restore us. In these elegiac poems, Peggy Shumaker honors those gone before us, those nearly done, and the unending life we pass on. With compassionate insight, Shumaker reminds us that while grief endures, it can be embraced, allowing for profound growth and deeper understanding.
