Stronger Than Cleopatra

Stronger Than Cleopatra is a poetry memoir recalling the author’s journey through grief after the death of her first husband. In 30 narrative poems, Jacqueline Jules addresses the unfinished business between the living and the dead. Love is far too complicated an emotion to end with death. We continue our relationship with the deceased, willingly or unwillingly, for the rest of our lives. Stronger Than Cleopatra shares the story of a young widow who honored her first marriage and then went on to build a new life with another man. Jacqueline Jules is an award-winning author and poet of over two dozen books including Sarah Laughs, the Zapato Power series, and Field Trip to the Museum.
