Release and Restoration (Hall)

Release and Restoration contains poetry by Wilson Hall and the late Thelma Hall, both longtime professors of English at Shorter College, Rome, Georgia. The introduction by Carmen Acevedo Butcher calls it "a brave woman's dialogue with bad news," for many of the poems deal with Thelma's reflections on having cancer and with Wilson's reflections on her illness and then her death. One reviewer describes the poems as "a duet sung by wife to husband, husband to wife."
