Death Comes Riding

Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda

5/5 ( ratings)

This collection offers a new perspective on spiritual growth. Set against a background of death, history and myth, the poems range from free verse to dramatic monologues and sonnets. As in her previous books, the formal verse is written so skillfully that the subtle rhyme schemes elude us. In the first section of Death Comes Riding, Foronda welcomes readers to the enchanting world that opened up to her after she confronted death while still in her teens. She then explores lessons learned from a diverse cast of characters, contemporary and historical, some precariously close to death, others speaking from the grave. The book's final poem take us to the ethereal Andes and the gem-laden hills of Brazil, which hold the key to the author's quest.
