Abstract:
Hold the Light is the inspiring collection of poetry, by Patti Carrig, offering a unique perspective on love and heartache, spirituality and loss, lost childhoods and lost innocence. Poems such as, “The Wall” and “The Southern Watch” provide perspective on life in a military family. “Old Queenie” and “Little Old Man” speak to a career spent fighting the ills of child abuse. “Mississippi Nights” and “Ravenna Road” takes one back to a simpler time. Then the mystic, “Cajun Dreams” reminds us of all the beauty life can offer. Hold the Light is refreshing, engaging, and deeply honest.
