Letters Unsent

I've led my life, frankly given to chance;I learned of love, yet what of romance?As long as human beings have been writing poetry, it's been our favorite vehicle to struggle with love and loss-and over the course of a lifetime you tend to accumulate a fair bit of both. Those hard-won lessons and still-unfulfilled yearnings grace the pages of Letters Unsent.Painful vulnerability meets gentle musicality: Joseph A. DeMerchant recalls long-ago romances and faces down present day loneliness in classic rhyming verse. Letters Unsent is the accumulated musings of the last sixty years, thick with joy and sorrow and undergirded with a love of poetry as steady and constant as a heartbeat.
