A Love Letter, steps you into the sharp tenderness of a loved one’s transition. San Francisco Poet Laureate emeritus, Tongo Eisen Martin wrote, “Its pages expose your mind to the various mirrors of an embrace while walking you down the predatory nodes of a medical system that serves capital and rage with equal measure. In a few pages, you are years changed.” 

This letter should make you uncomfortable and animate your cry for care that is both cost free and comprehensive, and follows the body from inception to interment. Honoring the body’s return is as life affirming as honoring its arrival, which is why this little book attempts to document the most graceful aspects of a goodbye.

“A Love Letter captures where I was when my beloved aunt left the world, and where I am now, and where any of us might find ourselves in the future.” -Carmen
