Devotion to Lost Causes by Constance Koons

In these lovely, superbly crafted poems, Constance Koons weaves the tender story of a love challenged by geographical distance and by alcoholism. In their depth, these poems throw light on the rewards and difficulties of relationships, not just this relationship, but all loves that struggle to survive in spite of illness and the distances between us. I loved this book for its honesty and tenderness, its excellence, and the beauty of its language.

–Patricia Fargnoli, former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire and author of Necessary Light, Small Songs of Pain, Duties of the Spirit, Then Something and most recently, Winter.
