I've led my life, frankly given to chance; I learned of love, yet what of romance? As long as human beings have been writing poetry, it's been our favorite vehicle to struggle with love and loss-and over the course of a lifetime you tend to accumulate a fair bit of both. Those hard-won lessons and still-unfulfilled yearnings grace the pages of Letters Unsent. Painful vulnerability meets gentle musicality: Joseph A. DeMerchant recalls long-ago romances and faces down present day loneliness in classic rhyming verse. Letters Unsent is the accumulated musings of the last sixty years, thick with joy and sorrow and undergirded with a love of poetry as steady and constant as a heartbeat.

Autorenporträt
Joseph A. DeMerchant feels like he was born a poet. He began writing poetry when he was just ten years old and now-retired, with a long life behind him-he has gathered up poems from across the decades into his debut collection. Though this is his first solo book, his previously published work can be found in a number of anthologies. His poem "Some Safe Retreat" was published in Great Poets of the Western World vol. II and "The Sandman's Prayer" was published by the International Library of Poetry. He was a Golden Poet award winner in 1989, and he has donated work for sale by the Carleton County Toy Run Association to support local children with health issues. Joseph lives in Beechwood, New Brunswick, where he volunteers with nonprofit organizations and writes poetry.
