Stations of the Cross is a series of 14 poems written deliberately at the rate of one poem a year, over 14 years from 1973 to 1986. They are an on going annual conversation with a friend who took his own life in October of 1974, and while many of the details in the poems are personal, the poems are not meant to be autobiographical. In many ways they resemble a conversation we might have with a good friend if we could only meet over dinner once every year for two hours. The poems, of course, are meant to stand on their own individually, but they also trace, over time, a process of living through grief and loss, but even deeper than that, they are meant to serve as an affirmation of life and friendship that extends beyond death. They were for me, as I hope they are for you, an (annual) experience of grace.
