Their Sobering Suicides by Lisa Richards

The poems in Their Sobering Suicides are a powerful balance of reflection and revelation. Lisa Richards walks a tragic journey of the human soul. The poet reveals universal truth that is articulated in the plain speech of the heart. With each turn of the page, you will find earth-shattering accounts told about mothers and daughters and brothers, and the “paths that led everywhere but back to ourselves.”
–Leah Huete de Maines Publisher, Finishing Line Press
*****
If you want to understand the ripples of trauma and the loss of a loved one to suicide, read this book. It is heartbreakingly, beautifully articulate.
