Sinopsis
From Star to Star channels home, loss, and the natural world through wartime verse.
This collection of Edith Grensted Rochester’s poetry invites readers to feel the tenderness of daily life interrupted by conflict, and the quiet resilience found in nature and memory.

Excerpt from From Star to Star
Gone On!
Tall, slim and straight, with tossing head and flashing eye -
Gone on! straight on! the while this puny world rolls by.
With never pause for doubt - from battle front - gone on!
Straight on! his part here finished toward the victory won.
Clean noble soul, that lived for eons close to God;
Boy's body that a little while this earth had trod;
Gone on! with never stop nor falter - strong and free -
Smiling, singing - straight on! into the world to be.
Boy's courageous heart that loved his fellows all;
Boy's happy, loving smile that made of each his thrall;
Gone on! straight on! beyond the reach of mortal sight;
Only through Love, the eye of Faith can see the light.
Doffing the garb of earth, new form to don -
Making of Death a glorious Victory - gone on!
