In these quiet, heart-wrought lyric meditations, Thomas Fasano leads us through the tender fissures of memory, loss, and renewal. From wind-scarred woodlands to the hush of evening light, each hymn maps the subtle choreography of nature and the human spirit: the fall of a single leaf becomes a reckoning with time; a lone bird's call, a plea against the void. Guided by recurring echoes - of a friend and mentor named Archie, of rivers and stones, of stars and ashes - these poems unfold as elegies for what was and refrains of hope for what might be. Here, in the space between breath and silence, we discover that every ending seeds its own beginning. Forsaken Hymns is an intimate journey through decay and delight - an invitation to witness how even the most forsaken heart may learn to sing again.
THOMAS FASANO has published fiction, poetry, grammar texts, and edited several volumes from American classics to James Joyce. He lives in California with his wife, a bunch of wild animals in their backyard, and a collection of old typewriters. He also blogs at www.tomfasano.com.
