Synopsis

Cut-Flowers brings together a lasting suite of poems by Mrs. D. Ellen Goodman Shepard, sharing memory, faith, and quiet resilience in tender verses.

This collection frames the author’s life in verse, with an obituary and introductory note that reflect a poet’s private heart made public through song. Readers will find a blend of grief, hope, and everyday beauty, voiced in simple, compassionate lines that speak to enduring human bonds.

  • Encounter poems that navigate sorrow and consolation, including pieces that look to family, memory, and the afterglow of love.
  • Experience nature imagery and lyrical meditation that shapes mood and meaning without heavy ornament.
  • See how personal experience and sympathy for others color the poems, making “the book” feel intimate and universal.
  • Note the book’s structure, from obituary prose to a rich sequence of lyric pieces like Morning in October, Ida’s Grave, My Prayer, and the Father to His Motherless Children.
Ideal for readers of reflective verse about life’s trials, memory, and gentle consolation through difficult times.
