Haight’s free-verse poetry can make you laugh or give you permission to cry about things that change our later lives in ways that make us feel happy and sad, connected and lonely, complete and unfinished--conflicting emotions that coexist within us.

Marilyn Haight
Marilyn Haight's free-verse poetry collection lays bare the unspoken thoughts and emotions we experience as we grow older. While some of her poems are humorous, all deal with serios subjects, such as living in an aging body; dealing with ongoing loss; and looking toward a future that's shorter than the past. These poems can make you laugh, or give you permission to cry about things that change our lives in ways that make us feel happy and sad, connected and lonely, complete and unfinished--conflicting emotions that reside within our being, whether or not we want them. Her use of everyday language is deceiving in that the whole of each poem is greater than the sum of its parts, guiding you to an unexpected place.

Professional Reviews
James Masao Mitsui
"Time to read poetry that William Carlos Williams would have said was for the people on back streets & country roads, in urban high rises & gated communities. Here are poems that deal with the issues that face us all, whether we reside in Sun City, Paterson, Mankato, Temecula, or Meridian. These poems, their front doors and windows left open like Edward Hopper paintings, reveal elements of the human condition, regardless of our age, regardless of how we pay the bills, regardless of how we spend our weekends, regardless of whether we believe in politics or religion. You know the people who live in these exceptional poems by Marilyn Haight."
