A Long-Forgotten Ache: Heartsong as Poetry

by Julie Godwin

Overview

You taste like winter
like freshly fallen snow
like pine needles
like frosty juniper berries - earthy, generous, and brisk.
You linger. You linger.
And I long.

After her marriage ended in her 30's, Julie found herself entering a new phase of life and love-the hope, the yearning, the falling and the grief. A Long-Forgotten Ache: Heartsong as Poetry is an autobiographical account of her experiences of love during that time told through free-verse poetry. Julie uses this collection of poems to invite readers into the most intimate moments of her adult life, sharing her messy rawness and unsinkable bravery through it all.
