The poems describe the anguish of living with a loved one who is lost to the world. She does not die. In fact, she carries their baby to full term and gives birth to a healthy son of whom she will never be aware. After a few years, Lynn dies, the boy grows, and the poet, Alan, eventually finds another love. He writes, He heals.Bern, Alan is the author of 'No No the Saddest' with ISBN 9781564744333 and ISBN 1564744337.
