1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A love song stronger than death By Gloria C Hutchinson If the title of this fine volume of poetry has a familiar ring, perhaps that is because it is the third book in a trilogy written by Elaine McGillicuddy and bearing the same beautiful title: "Sing to Me and I Will Hear You." Her husband Francis had spoken those words to her during his final weeks of enduring bone cancer. The words she sang were "Set me as a seal on your heart. . .for love is stronger than death" (Song of Songs).Since Francis' passing on Jan. 3, 2010, his widow has reflected how deeply that seal on her heart is etched. Her trilogy combines two volumes of poetry with a memoir in which hers and Francis' 41-year love story is told. After publishing her first volume of poems, she realized that the poems "would not stop coming." As Yevgeny Yentushenko has observed, "A poet's autobiography is [her] poetry. Anything else is just a footnote."Each of this new book's four thematic sections offers an appealing selection of lyrical, elegiac and narrative works, all rooted in the garden of the poet's grieving but increasingly joyful life as a widow. Her progress is clear in "What Would You Do?" (p. 80) as she questions whether or not to seek another mate. She recalls that she had thought "I'll write my books, then die./But now I know it's time to let that go. . ." In "What Does It Mean?" (p. 69), she breaks down the meaning of her husband's death into two heart-wrenching lines, four gut-twisting words): "Inconsolable loss/Irreplaceable him." "Sing to Me and I Will Hear You--New Poems" will provide companionship and comfort for those who are mourning the loss of an irreplaceable partner. It will prompt many tears, tease out a few chuckles, and erect uncounted road signs for those who are recovering from the kind of loss Elaine McGillicuddy knows well. With unfailing honesty and courage, she has illustrated the truth of poet Mary Oliver's insight for us: "[Poetry] is an empty basket; you put your life into it and make something out of that."
