Letters to the Deceased & Other Missives by Denise Weaver Ross

2020 NM/AZ Book Awards finalist

Author’s note: I’ve been telling many of these almost factual stories about my family and loved ones for years, first as anecdotes and later as poems. I also have had a life-long habit of writing poems for birthdays, anniversaries, or special occasions. I hope you find connection and solace in the universally shared experiences within my particular tales of births, friendships, loves, losses, and death.

Denise Weaver Ross explores her understanding of the world through art and poetry richly layered with mythological, natural, cultural, and historical references. She feels the magic happens when disparate images combine to make a new and unexpected new image with the layers resonating with undiscovered meaning.
