Description


Author John Kessler presents his new book, Reflections on Death, a deeply moving collection of poetry and prose that explores the raw and intimate emotions experienced after the loss of a loved one, and the healing journey that follows.

In his work, Kessler offers readers a powerful literary journey through grief, memory, and healing. With sensitivity and honesty, each piece captures the nuances of mourning—ranging from sorrow and confusion to moments of peace and acceptance.

A Graduate of Georgetown University, John A. Kessler spent more than 35 years in Corporate Human Resources. He has also been a speaker for the American Management Association and taught evening programs at Fairfield University and Western Connecticut State University.

He is the author of several books, including “Reflections of An Ordinary Person,” “Reflections in Poetry,” “That’s Life” and “Ready, Aim, Retire.”

John’s mission, which he hopes to accomplish through his writing, is to communicate hope, peace and self-fulfillment to his readers.

Reflections on Death will be available for signing by the author.
