The poems in this book undertake the work of defining absence in a number of contexts, most painfully that of the premature death of a child. It is to the poet's credit that poems in such a highly subjective collection reflect the depth of loss he feels, but at the same time, never descend to the maudlin. This is a very moving and thought-provoking collection. Defining Absence is published by Salmon Publishing, LTD . Professor Dertouzos will deliver a short lecture, take questions from the audience, and sign copies of his book.
