About this episode
Can you take heartache and put it to verse? Our guest Gary Browe has written a poetry book on loss of all kinds and shared some of them in song: https://bit.ly/4lcd9Cx
The path to healing is a bumpy ride. The stages of grief are often filled with potholes, wrong turns, and much uncertainty. Losing someone you love hurts. You feel vulnerable and alone and need something to help you feel less alone.
Our guest this week is Gary Browe, author of the book About Loss. The poems in About Loss are written in free verse. They are simple and direct, yet emotional and beautiful. Love is part of loss, and this book has many love poems as well as poems of heartache.
Gary performed an acoustic guitar version of his poems, Butterflies (Town Grill in the book) and Trans-Am.
