Lost for Words by Margaret Brown is a collection of poetry, recording in creative verse the things that occurred in the poet’s life. In “Lost Child” the death of her son was the subject matter. Is a child really an extension of his parent? Would knowing that “His wings were released now he’s free” bring comfort to his mother? I can only hope in some way it does.
In “Brown” there is a play on words addressing two different subject matters. In this piece we have a mother who lost her son, and this same woman is a grandmother who lost her granddaughter, too. The difference is one was by death and the other due to the cruelty of another living human being, who only wants this little girl to pass for the lighter side of her genetic make up. However, there is no way she will be able to hide from her true family history forever.
The one poem that could be about any woman was “Really.” How often have women given their all to the ones they love, especially that special someone. Constantly giving and giving of herself only to get less than half of what she gave in return. By the time she realizes what is truly going on and looked at herself in the mirror, “She disliked the reflection she saw.”
Ms. Brown opened her heart up for all to see. Some of the poems stole my heart and forced through my lips “no one should have to go through this.” I hope she has found solace and happiness. I recommend Lost for Words to readers of poetry.
