Sobre IBD

I Stop Waiting For You by Mary Jo Bona is an immensely moving meditation ongrief for the twin bother who dies from AIDS; the ghosts of her other dead andlost populate this book as well. Those losses are balanced out by her poemsthat explore her Italian American heritage and her love poems. This book is away of mourning her lost brother, a way of keeping him alive in her memory.It is also a celebration of the woman she loves who makes her own life worthliving. What an accomplished, beautiful, amazing book! I read it all in one sittingand look forward to reading it again and again.-Maria Mazziott ii GillanAmerican Book Award for All That Lies Between Us
