This is a poignant book of witty, reflective, sophisticated, and subversive poems that find meaning in unexpected places. From the woman who reminisces about a past she has left in order to move forward, the last thoughts of a young man in a land in turmoil, the girl who faces hurt and betrayal, to the dead man who visits his funeral and mocks the mourners - teaching us vital lessons about life and death, Beatrice Fri Bime offers her readers a loaded assortment of poetic verse. Shades of Sorrow, Tears and Laughter is packed with satirical humour, laced with a wide variety of themes that address societal vices and virtues, pain, regret, greed, bigotry, and their consequences.
