How Deep the Pain Goes Quiet, After Richard Atwood Author

SOME the quiet ones are those who bear their wisdom like a shell neither arrogant nor easy with a hard look, that shows how carefully they have learned to guard themselves what they know. From Germany to California, with stops in Paris, Turkey, and Greece, these poems are a collection of the yearnings within us all questions asked, answers given, and much that never will. Still, that love and loss are the greatest gifts, the deepest sorrows one can ever know. And who can say what God is if finding Him, we are both shattered and fulfilled? May it be that there is no final afterthat there may always be something wonderful, rising from the deep within. How Deep The Pain Goes Quiet, After was a winning Finalist in USA Best Books 2011 Awards, sponsored by USA Book News. Runner-up Poetry Winner of the 2011 New England Book Festival
