"IN LOVING MEMORY is an elegant, elegiac poem by Roxanne Hoffman,
illustrated by Edward Odwitt in a style reminiscent of classic
Edward Gorey. This somber, tender and darkly ironic verse is about
the ceremonies of death and grieving...as well as their parallels
to the rituals of abiding love and remembrance. IN LOVING MEMORY
should be on everyone's shelves as it reflects on one of the
darkest human experiences with insight and humanity in a charmingly
gothic presentation." -Garth von Buchholz, Author, publisher and
member of the National Book Critics' Circle "Roxanne Hoffman has
been a whirlwind of poetics for some time now. IN LOVING MEMORY is
not only a worthy addition to her oeuvre but an original, deeply
human-and warmly humane-vision of the rites of final passage. Of
course there is trauma, that of irreconcilable loss, but here
Roxanne brings the full coin of her poetic mind to bear. In
sustained elegiacal rhyme she paints a methodically wrought
landscape that is beautifully subjective yet utterly universal. The
portraiture is further enriched by the stark, almost child-like
illustrations of Edward Odwitt. The sum effort is a melodic,
imaginative riposte to the reverberations of loss, a moment
heartbreakingly, heartwarmingly wrought into poetry." -Adam Henry
Carriere, Publisher of "Danse Macabre"
