A Life Lived: Remembered in Poetry and Prose Roger G. Kidston

A Life Lived Remembered in Poetry and Prose by Roger G. Kidston gives us unforgettable word pictures of 78 truth seeking years from the Great Depression to his twilight years. Kidston reveals both his joys and his sorrows ? from the death of his mother, whose last phone call was accidently misdirected, divorce, the loss of all of his biological children, his joy writing poems ?his word children ? and adult relationships. Each poem reveals yet another facet of Kidston?s life further illuminated with accompanying prose. Kidston writes with complete candor concerning both quiet desperation and achievement. His writing is a testament to his strength, courage and resilience arising from his loneliness after divorce, the loss of his children and his thus far successful battle with cancer, chronic pain and congestive heart failure. Beautifully written, and filled with warmth, heart and feeling, A Life Lived offers a glimpse into the world of a most unique individual who celebrates the miracle of being and lives, loves, and laughs each and every day.
