The Werewolf Doesn't Die in the End - C. Anne Gardner;Martin Whitmore

The Werewolf Doesn't Die in the End is a poetic exploration of a life lived in pursuit of the unavoidable truth that sometimes there is a monster living inside of us that is hell-bent on destroying everything.

A sinister metaphor for the author's battle with a too-late diagnosis and a devastating cycle of illness, the werewolf weaves through the pages of a story of confusion, helplessness, loss, grief, shame and at long last, a semblance of relief.

In this long-awaited poetry collection from C. Anne Gardner, The Werewolf Doesn't Die in the End crawls out of the forest and strives to answer a lifetime of questions. What if we are destined to be more than just a burden? What if self-love can only come from the other side of an inescapable internal war? How have our systems failed us in the pursuit of healing?

And, if the werewolf doesn't die... how can we survive it?
