Remember the Sweetness: Poems

Remember The Sweetness by Polly Giantonia is full of excellent poems about the little and large things in life and finding the sweetness in the memories. Poets are weavers of words. Some weave course sackcloth; some fine silk and some a tapestry of bits and pieces of their life revealed in verses that take the reader back into parts of their life. Giantonio has done that very well and brought to mind similar joys and struggles in mine.
Highly recommend the book. It will not take long to read but some of your remembrances will return to stay longer.

Polly Giantonia’s Remember the Sweetness is the perfect weekend read for any poetry lover. Lovely selection of poems that are emotionally resonant and very accessible—especially those that center around grief and loss. I’d love to read more from this author. Many thanks to Rootstock Publishing for the complimentary copy of this ARC!

I received this book as an ARC. I absolutely love poems. It was one of my favorite subjects in English glasses growing up. The poems are written about everyday things we come into contact with and how they affect us. The book also contains poems about family, love and loss. How did we feel then and how do we feel now when we look back. Some of these poems hit home for me. They are beautifully written.
