All Sins Forgiven ~ Poems for My Parents
No relationship is more personal, yet universal, than that of parent
and child. These richly detailed poems, begun as a way for the author to
understand his own mother and father, connect readers with their own
experiences in that most fundamental of relationships, and are poignant
reminders that the lives of those closest to us sometimes offer the
deepest mysteries. Recognized by Boston Magazine as “one of
the finest poets in a place that has more than its share,” Charles Coe
is known for his powerful readings and unusually warm and compassionate
voice, and for poems that speak to the heart and mind as well as the
ear. Author Marge Piercy writes, "Charles Coe's poems move and touch
people. His voice is direct, honest, never forced or false in its note
of intelligent humane awareness. His subjects are ones that involve the
audience and attract the reader, things we want to read about and to
which he brings his unique conversational but powerful voice. We hear
and believe." Free and open to all thanks to the Friends of the Hancock
Town Library.
