What Was and Will Be

Arts & Literature

“Whether he is caring for the sick, awaiting the arrival of a premature baby, reflecting on the complicated relationship between a parent and child, or mourning the loss of a pet, Eric Chiles treads lightly and with grace. He keeps his feet planted on the ground, offering his verse as comfort to readers as we consider our own brushes with the fragility of our days. It has been a pleasure to read these finely crafted poems.”
