Sinopsis

Anyone familiar with autism knows that it consists of a devastating spectrum of developmental disorders that affect a childâÇÖs ability to learn, communicate and socialize. Connie PostâÇÖs And When the Sun Drops relates the tale of one motherâÇÖs experience of her sonâÇÖs autism. In 'By the Window,' the speaker addresses her son about '...the dawning of other worlds / of prisms that would take you from us / that would take language from you'. PostâÇÖs poems are focused, direct and unyielding. Her language expresses strong sentiment, but never descends into sentimentality, allowing the reader to feel authentic emotions. I shed more than a few tears over these beautifully wrought, honest poems. This collection is for anyone who desires to, as Post puts it, '...make an origami out of / any shape of loss / and make it somehow / feel like gratitude'.-Lana Hechtman Ayers, author of A New Red, Publisher of Concrete WolfáPoetry Chapbook SeriesIn compellingly candid and essential language evoking emotion or exhibiting experience, Connie PostâÇÖs poetry supplies necessary words describing the relationship with her autistic and speechless son, engaging readers who accompany them on their journey down 'the long curve of silence.'-Edward Byrne, Editor, Valparaiso Poetry Review
