Description

After-Music is a varied and rich collection of meditations on both the personal and universal. Among the many intriguing places, people, and events that Hilberry brings to life in these poems are watching manatees in a Florida canal, a reluctant priest blessing the animals in Mexico, a rushed and sullen checkout girl in the supermarket, and Day of the Dead skeletons that form a mariachi band. Although some of the poems are formal in sonnets, quatrains, and tetrameter couples most of the poems are free verse, making them accessible and enjoyable reading.
