Loving Candace

Loving Candace brings together Marvin Cohen’s tributes to his wife of many years, Candace Watt, written both before and after her death on September 22, 2023, along with a number of broader reflections on the nature of memory and friendship, all composed within the last few years of Marvin’s long career.

His tributes to Candace may be viewed as one work: the earlier pieces rejoicing in their companionship, the later pieces often painfully raw and ruminative, in struggle with unfathomable loss.
