In his searingly honest and deeply moving memoir, **The Ocean Fell into the Drop**, Patrick Lane explores the depths of grief and the possibility of renewal after the death of his beloved wife.
Lane begins by recounting the sudden and unexpected loss of his wife, poet Dorothy Livesay. He describes the overwhelming sense of grief and despair that consumed him in the aftermath of her death. But even in the depths of his sorrow, Lane finds glimmers of hope and beauty.
Through vivid and evocative language, Lane paints a picture of the natural world as a source of both solace and inspiration. He finds comfort in the rhythms of the ocean, the songs of birds, and the changing seasons. He also finds solace in the love and support of his family and friends.
As time passes, Lane slowly begins to heal. He learns to live with his grief, and he finds new meaning in his life. He continues to write poetry, and he finds solace in the act of creation.
**The Ocean Fell into the Drop** is a powerful and moving memoir that will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss. Lane's raw and honest account of his grief is both heartbreaking and inspiring. His journey of healing and renewal is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and hope.
