Marie Louise Elliott's
Immortal as Thor
says goodbye-sometimes in anger, sometimes in frustration, sometimes in deep, deep sorrow, and always in resolution. But the poems do not only or merely say goodbye. In the leave-taking, the poet embraces the human relationships and the grandeur of the natural world that will console and provide for her on her journey home. If you, too, have said or must say goodbye and long for the best of companions on your way,
is for you.
