In this companion volume to A Piece of My Heart, the poet returns to the quiet rooms of grief-now lit by steadier lamps. Written as letters to Tony, his late husband, these poems trace the long months after loss as they soften from raw ache to gentler remembrance. Here, sorrow learns new shapes: a kettle's hum, a chair kept warm, the Angel of the North watching the weather and the heart alike.

The voice is intimate, clear, and hopeful. What nettled once becomes dear; what was unbearable grows bearable; what seemed ending begins to shine as gift. Moving in chronological order, the collection marks a tender shift-from night toward morning-without pretending the night has vanished.

For anyone walking with absence, these pages offer company and a hand to hold. They honour love not as something finished, but as a presence that teaches patience, kindness, and light in ordinary things. If you are learning to live with what cannot return, may these poems help you keep the lamp, remember the better part, and step forward with love still at your side.
