Embers, Volume 3.

"Embers, Volume 3" by Gilbert Parker is a collection that looks at love, the way we remember things, and how time changes us. Written with a lyrical style common in the early 1900s, the collection thinks about different parts of being human, especially how we connect with others and the mix of happiness and sadness that comes with looking back. Through a series of poems, Parker captures what it feels like to love and want something, using strong images and deep feelings as you read about childhood friendships and love in "In Camden Town" and "Jean", and thinking about losing someone and having memories in "A Memory" and "A Farewell from the Harem". The book also features "The Bridge of the Hundred Spans," where the bravery of a woman is put together with ideas about giving up something important and what is meant to be. With detailed language and scenes that stay with you, Parker asks readers to consider how complicated love can be, how we can't stop change from happening, and how important remembering is.
