Flash Of Life

Summary: Giving Voice to Bereaved Parents
Review: "Flash of Life," by Kara L.C. Jones, is a beautiful tribute to her stillborn son, Dakota, as well as a great resource for finding online and offline bereavement support. It's a wonderful book of poems that tell Dakota's story before, during, and after Kara's pregnancy. As I read the poems, I felt like Kara was speaking directly to me about her hopes, dreams, and love for Dakota. I was able to relate in many ways to the author's loss and heartache. Kara's poetry throughout her book is easy to follow and understand. I could truly feel the variety of emotions put forth in her writings. I recommend this poetic narrative to anyone that has suffered the loss of a baby. This is a second edition of "Flash of Life" which also includes the full, original narrative, a 2002 Foreword, and an updated resource guide for finding support. "Flash of Life" also offers information about the ongoing dedicated bereavement work KotaPress does to help others.

Review: A wonderful collection of poems!! From the start of a life at the beginning of pregnancy to the end of a life, for Kara's stillborn son, Dakota. Then the continuation of life and the motherhood of Kara Jones. Through these poems we follow a mother and son's journey through life, death and beyond. Beautiful imagery is portrayed to convey the feelings of the greatest love and the greatest loss.
