In Through My Eyes, Gail M. Neuendorf writes about life, in all its messy glory. A poet possessed of a uniquely evocative voice, she evokes in her work the humor, compassion, pain, and love that make up human existence.
From a series of heart-wrenching poems focused on the grief caused by the loss of a beloved family member, Neuendorf moves to themes of love and betrayal, passion, and inner peace. Her heartfelt free verse explores emotions common to the human experience, made uncommon by her vivid descriptions and style.
Neuendorf's subjects are familiar to everyone-or will become so over the course of one's life. She travels down dark emotional roads but never loses the sense of hope and compassion that characterizes her work. Grief gives way to love, be it familial, passionate, maternal, or friendly. And if these bonds sometimes result in pain and betrayal, Neuendorf makes it plain they're nevertheless worth pursuing-time and again if necessary.
To read Through My Eyes is to experience more than Neuendorf's life. It is to tap into the wellspring of humanity's emotional experiences and to see yourself reflected in another.
