Overview

"Whatever life hands me-love, land, or loss-a way to acceptance means embracing earthly cycles, authentic connections to others, and the comforting puzzle of words," says Catherine Hamrick. Processing depression and the loss of her parents, she explores the therapeutic value of nature and poetry in The Tears of Things. This collection charts her movement through changing relationships, landscapes, and gardens in the Midwest and Deep South. Seamus Heaney's interpretation of The Aeneid's famous line sunt lacrimae rerum-"there are tears at the heart of things"-underpins Hamrick's sensibility. Observing seasonal flourishes and decay reminds us that love, joy, longing, sorrow, and gratitude arise from life's imperfection and brevity.
