About the Book

Stations of the Cross is a series of 14 poems written deliberately at the rate of one poem a year, over 14 years from 1973 to 1986. They are an on going annual conversation with a friend who took his own life in October of 1974, and while many of the details in the poems are personal, the poems are not meant to be autobiographical. In many ways they resemble a conversation we might have with a good friend if we could only meet over dinner once every year for two hours. The poems, of course, are meant to stand on their own individually, but they also trace, over time, a process of living through grief and loss, but even deeper than that, they are meant to serve as an affirmation of life and friendship that extends beyond death. They were for me, as I hope they are for you, an (annual) experience of grace.
About the Author: Dr. W. Allen Ashby was born in Virginia in 1943, grew up in North Carolina, and spent his childhood summers at his grandparents' house on the James River in Newport News, Virginia. He got a BA from UNC Chapel Hill, spent a semester at Duke Seminary, earned a PhD from Drew University, (in Religion and Literature) and did two years of post-doctorate work at Princeton. He taught English at Union County College in Cranford, NJ from 1969-2007, specializing in Shakespeare and World Literature. And apart from the love of the craft, teaching allowed him the time to travel, and he has visited over 60 different countries, and many of them on multiple occasions. He has a daughter and two grandsons, and extensive family still in the Carolinas. He and his partner Karen spend their time now at their home in NJ, and at their four season cabin in the southern Adirondacks.
