Last Writes: Poems Of Love & Death

LAST WRITES: Love, Death & Falling (Poems & Other Writings), by Ian James.Far more than a death watch, Last Writes is an exquisite love story-one stripped bare of the niceties that convention too often demands from a Romance Story included for mass consumption. Indeed, there would be no "Happily ever after." For Ruth and Ian James, there would only be an inevitable ending. * * * When I call Last Writes an exquisite love story, it is that, and so much more. It is the story of a sentient human being at war with himself and his surroundings, raging against the immediacy of what life was demanding of him-that he let go of all he loved and held most dear and be confronted with what he had no hope of forestalling; let alone, winning; since it isn't, and wasn't, that kind of war he waged, against Death, no less. Each and every poem, each and every line, gives voice to the depth of Ian's love for his beloved, Ruth. To read his work, is to participate in a celebration of life.
