About the Collection

Among those under my pastoral care was a particular man with Alzheimer''s disease, Matt. As a part of my care, having found that writing poetry about the situations I encounter helps me see them more clearly, I developed a collection of poems about my visits with the patient.

Sharing the Poems

These I collected and shared with his family, and now, under slight revision, I offer them as a view of this one trajectory with the life under Alzheimer''s.
