Hearts Quarantined
“Here in this lovely chapbook is an abundance of heart, a reaching out and opening to allow all of us, any of us, to open-up and reach back, or as Ira says, to “lean in.” From these poems and doodles in Hearts Quarantined, we can learn patience with ourselves and others, we are invited to let our broken hearts open to love, and we are reminded that faith and hope are lanterns that offer light in dark times.”

Reader Comments
“I mailed a copy of Heart Quarantined – Grief and Resilience to a friend who had just lost her husband of 60 years. I think they are wonderful companions, words that can be read and reread as needed, adding to the personal thoughts one shares with friends at a time of loss. “
