Saying Goodbye to Rue

Poets are madly attracted to drama, both wonderful and tragic. When a crisis as massive as the person you love dying of cancer emerges, it is the worst kind of individual tragedy for the poet but a boon for poetic activity.In this book, James C. Allen shares his tragedy in the most intimate terms. From finding out his lover of 33 years has terminal cancer to recovering from his passing, this book chronicles the broken heart of humanity itself through the eyes of a very perceptive poet. He has created a wonderful tribute of love we are fortunate to share.
