The Birth of a Widow is an utterly
shattering portrait of the sudden loss of a husband and a shared life that will
speak to anyone who has ever loved or lost a loved one. In these poems of
electric honesty, Giorgio explores how she struggles to survive her first year
as a widow, using all her wisdom, humor, anger, to cross the vast sea of grief
to the other shore, bringing us—wiser, too—along with her.
—Jesse
Lee Kercheval, author of I Want To Tell You
Sixty-six days after Kathie Giorgio’s husband
was killed when he was struck and run over by a passenger van while walking to
his bus stop, Kathie’s grief broke out unbidden into poetry. For the year after
his death, she wrote the poems as they arrived. An intimate study of traumatic
loss, Giorgio exposes the full depth of grief’s sadness, anger, and confusion.
