Description

A portrait of marriage, caretaking, grief, and recovery.

Carole Stone’s Limited Editions is an end-of-life narrative journey, from her long-term marriage to the illness and death of her husband. Stone’s honest, understated, and detailed poems, each packed with narrative, bring us to the heart of her loss.

Stone does not flinch in her descriptions of her husband’s suffering and dying moments. She dispassionately describes the everyday details of coping with being on her own—from daily household chores to the loneliness of being single as an ageing woman.

With Stone’s crisp observations and raw honesty, Limited Editions challenges the reader to think about death, grief, widowhood, and ageing as a natural process in the life cycle.

"Limited Editions reverberates with the arc of a long marriage, from romance to shared life, and finally, widowhood. Matthew Thorburn praises the collection for its tender yet clear-eyed depiction of intertwined lives and the nuanced emotional landscape of loss. The East Hampton Star calls it quietly inspiring, an optimistic tribute marked by humility, gratitude, and awe. The poems draw readers towards appreciating what remains after loss, combining honesty with a celebration of the human spirit."
