No Turning Around

In "No Turning Around" by Sandi McRae Huszagh, a poignant journey unfolds as a mother navigates the complex terrain of grief and acceptance. Marking her 81st year with a spectral visit from her deceased son, she confronts her guilt and finds solace in the notion of "soul meat," a metaphor for digesting decades of sorrow. Through vivid landscapes and intimate reflections, Huszagh captures the essence of human resilience and the natural world's tranquil beauty. From the raw edges of loss to the cosmic connections at Lake Walk, her poems offer a window into the soul's capacity to heal and grow. "No Turning Around" is a testament to the indomitable spirit's journey toward peace, framed by the unyielding beauty of the world around us. This collection is a must-read for anyone who has faced loss, who finds beauty in the natural world, or who seeks to explore the depths of their own emotions through the lens of poetry.
