A Grief Sublime

Part memoir, part fiction, A Grief Sublime begins at the moment the author learns of the sudden death in a car accident of her husband of 30 years, Steve “Sproutman” Meyerowitz. Ricocheting between the splintered past and the present in her grief, Robbins enters into conversation with Keats, Whitman, Melville and Dickinson.

“My poets, as I began to call them, offered me solace. They spoke to meaning and purpose.” Beautifully read by award winning narrator Karen Allen with James Warwick as the voice of the poets, Beth Robbins’ lyrical, powerful story takes us with her as her despair transcends into a hopeful new experience of life. And a recognition of the love that remains after death.

The true events of A Grief Sublime are being adapted into a short film directed by Academy Award winner Cynthia Wade.

“Luminous, breathtaking, A Grief Sublime takes us gently by the hand and beckons us to walk beyond the edges of pain into a transcendent world where the dead and living co-exist.– Cynthia Wade, Academy Award winning director This audiobook is followed by an exclusive interview with the author Beth Robbins and audiobook producer Alison Larkin.
