With Nothing
Behind but Sky
Poems in Perie Longo's book, With Nothing behind but Sky: a journey through grief, cover a nine year period from the diagnosis of her husband’s leukemia, through his treatment, death and beyond showing how time changes grief, and how the relationship of a husband and wife continues even after death, always there like the sky, which offers hope even when life seems darkest. Perie Longo’s poems transport us across the spectrum of emotion: tragic and cathartic to funny and hopeful. She is a virtuoso in each form she chooses, carrying us with her, laughing and crying
The strength it takes to immortalize the passage of a relationship in this way, why, it’s remarkable. Caught in a painful vise of illness, Perie Longo manages to persevere, and oh, how we come to admire this strong and loving woman.
