Patricia Joslin
I’ll Buy Flowers Again Tomorrow: Poems of Loss and Healing, by Covenant's Patricia Ann Joslin, pays homage to the poet's beloved husband of 41 years. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2015, Roy Joslin bravely lived with the disease until his death in the spring of 2018. These poems echo the grief of the cancer journey so many face today, yet they offer the promise of hope and healing to those who remain behind.
