I Dream You Home: Poems of Grief and Gratitude

In 2020, Phyllis Goldin, Wanda Lea Brown's wife of forty-six years, died of complications from Parkinson's disease. Over the next five years, Brown, a lifelong poet, harvested dream images to accompany decades of her love poems. This collection, I Dream You Home: Poems of Grief and Gratitude, powerfully articulates passionate love and the grief of being alone.

In poems whose settings span fifty years, Brown seeks catharsis, learning to live with its impossibility—probing the daily emptiness, yet never failing to note moments of grace that come to fill it.
