Odes to Life and Love

About the Book

This book is about the love partners have with each other. Forty- one years of creating a relationship and the tools they used to keep life going. It is the psychology of repair. Accepting of loss and moving on. Sometimes it is confessional,but mostly a tour of remembrance. A reason for life and the pursuit of happiness.

It is a collection of emotions and reminder of how great life is. How life should be an ongoing adventure. How death is the beginning of a new life. My partner wanted me to move on and not die of loneliness. Hence the examination of life through poetry.

About the Author

My name is Timothy M. Nugent. When I was a young man MY close friends called me “Huge Nuge. “ I was a large kid who played sports; lift heavy weights and enjoyed hoisting a good beer once in awhile. I was an ambitious soul. A type “A” personality who needed to succeed in everything I did. I worked sixteen hour days and partied the rest. Soon I realized life was passing me by and I was neglecting the most important person in my life, my wife. Fortunately I wasn’t too soon old to late smart. I changed my ways and began enjoying life with my Partner. We began communicating and enjoying life. After my wife passed away in September of 08; I promised not to ever let life go by without noticing it. I began traveling and have not stopped yet. I hope you enjoy my poetry and pictures. I hope to see you on the road. Thank You!
