WIN $150 GIFT VOUCHERS: ALADDIN'S GOLD
Janet Steward took advantage of retirement to write, learn Spanish, and collect memories with her husband, Larry. She decided she wasn't destined for a long-term relationship, but fortunately Larry convinced her to try again. Their age difference of sixteen years made being a caregiver a probability, but she was surprised to find deepening intimacy, affection, and personal growth far outweigh the frustrations and loss that come with that role. She was a finalist for The Poetry Box Chapbook Prize (2023) for Now Is What Matters.
"""Like colorful strands of yarn threaded across a loom, the poems in Janet Steward's Now is What Matters stretch from loss to comfort and from grief to gift, weaving a rich tapestry depicting the full picture of caring for a partner suffering from memory loss. The constant thread-the longest and most vivid strand running through the poems-is love. We will swim in its ocean, Steward vows. Love, she states, will feed us for the rest of our lives. Steward bravely lives and beautifully writes poems of truth and wisdom. We are lucky to be warmed by the insight and courage of her words.""-Annie Lighthart, author of PAX"
