She left him only for a moment, but when she returned Andrew had disappeared. He was found later that night, drowned in the river behind their home. From the depths of grief that followed, Wagner began to write poems\u2015not as therapy, she says, but to see if she could express the range of her experience more fully than the published books she\u2019d read. What emerged from Wagner\u2019s quest is a volume of verse that has comforted and inspired thousands of parents, patients, and other determined survivors. These clear, unflinching poems wherein she evokes the life and death of her five-year-old son are moving and unforgettable. . . . You will remember Andrew as if you had known him, this delightful boy. \u2015RUTH STONE Treasure Follow my hand into this trunk. Examine for yourself its treasure. Lift and read the heavy wooden board, a scrap of lumber on which he scrawled his name\u2015 red letters, all capitals, the E backwards. In kindergarten he learned to sign perfectly his many drawings, the jewels of his last will and testament. Try on his brilliant yellow sunglasses. See the world as he saw it\u2015clearly full of hope. Slide your hand up the sleeve of his favorite red shirt as though you were to tickle him. He would laugh. You may cry. Finally, with utmost care, hold what he made in nursery school\u2015 a white plaster cast of his hand, fingers spread wide apart as though he were telling you how old he would be when he died.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Texas Tech University Press (May 1, 2009) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 85 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 0896726576 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-0896726574 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.6 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.9 x 0.3 x 8.9 inches <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> On a soft summer Virginia evening Shelly Wagner was pushing her five-year-old son in a tire swing in the backyard, idling away the hours between dinner and bedtime.
