My Mother's Autumn

70 pp. Author starred in Dark Shadows, Falcon Crest, and the film adaptation of Raise the Titanic. David Selby's mother died suddenly and unexpectedly on a beautiful autumn day. In the months following her death, he began putting his thoughts about her into poetry. This collection not only examines the complicated, sometimes uncommunicated, love between a mother and her son, but also looks poignantly at the events that must be faced by a family when a loved one dies.
