Embers, Volume 2.

"Embers, Volume 2" by Gilbert Parker is a collection of poems that looks at subjects such as affection, grief, the environment, and the complicated parts of what it means to be human. The collection thinks carefully about how short life is and that affection lasts even when people pass on. Parker's poems lyrically analyze different relationships and things people go through as time moves forward. From longing for love from the past in poems like "The Twilight of Love" to seeing the innocence of children in "The Children," Parker makes a rich mix of deep feelings and details that help you picture everything; each poem gives a different view of affection, showing both the good and bad parts. The people in the poems, whether they are lovers, rulers, or children, go through both sadness and optimism, usually with nature making their feelings even stronger, and the words used are so powerful that readers are drawn into a place where every part is full of meaning that makes you think deeply about what it means to be a person.
