Vigil

Description

In Vigil: Notes from a Hospice Life, A. J. Land reflects upon her work as a hospice social worker, caring for people who are ill and dying. This is the type of daily work that fosters endless introspection and floods of emotions. Poetry is the form that allows these very human realities to find voice and shape. At once personal and poignant, Vigil recognizes the universal nature of death and loss; A. J. Land hopes to provide words of comfort for others at the time they just might need to hear them.
