Patricia Garfield's voyage through grief after the death of Zal, her beloved husband of 33 years, led her to poetry. Within the structure of poems, she found a container for her pain. Although Patricia's area of expertise is dreams, she discovered that poetry, too, expresses emotions in pictures. In Mourning Dove Patricia shares the words and imagery that led her along the road from sorrow to recovery. In photographs, dream imagery, memories of childhood, spells and chants, plus dating as a widow, Patricia documents a universal journey.
