Drawing from fourteen previous volumes and featuring thirty-seven new poems, this landmark collection captures the full arc of Ghigna's creative evolution, from his early meditations on nature and family to his later reflections on memory, mortality, and the enduring power of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith graceful shifts between free verse and traditional forms, Ghigna's voice is both intimate and expansive--clear as spring water, alive with wit, and steeped in feeling.

Ghigna invites readers to see the world anew, to find beauty in the familiar, and to embrace the sacred in the ordinary. For longtime admirers and new readers alike, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Book of Life\u003c\/i\u003e is a luminous testament to a life devoted to poetry. It is both compass and keepsake: a celebration of poetry's enduring light, and a lasting gift to the literature of the American South.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Ghigna\u003c\/b\u003e is author of more than 5000 poems and one hundred books for children and adults.
