Description

Book Review: "Michal Mahgerefteh's chapbook What's Left Behind is an attempt to deal with the grief of losing her mother. The grieving process grew more intense with every conversation she had with her father, who supported and cared for her mother for twenty-five years. The effects of this spirit-challenging period seep through every poem: "For twenty-five years Mother’s lips/ kneaded words with a pinch of salt / Her beautiful green eyes, now colorless." In “A Sign of Grief” the reader follows the emotional, spiritual, and physical turmoil of both the poet and her father during the time from mother’s initial diagnoses of cancer to her deathbed, and all that transpired in the intervening time. The burden is unbearable and in the end the poet resorts, reluctantly, to “all I want is to flee from your dark days/ that sealed My Book of Life/ until the hurt no longer/ bears your name.” Michal Mahgerefteh’s book is replete with remarkable sincerity, profound sensitivity, and unconditional love. Its universal message will touch every soul.
