A Cadence of Despair

We depend on poets to point in the direction of the unsayable. Facing trouble is an exercise in creativity. There are times in life when we are compelled on a journey, when grief pulls us into impossible ordeals, and when we have to leave our old insufficient selves behind. Through his poems, Tenneson invites us into such a passage. He knows that going through impossibly hard things with perseverance and courage is what can bring us together as human family.
