About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Vigils by Aline Kilmer. Read in English by Sonia; Madame Lisa; SkyAlbatross; Anusha Iyer; Jude; Gaby This is a volume of poetry by American poet Aline Murray Kilmer, widow of the poet Joyce Kilmer. These poems have been published several years after Joyce Kilmer's death in 1918 while he was deployed in France, and their daughter Rose's death in 1917. Many of the poems in this collection thus also center around a motive of grief and loss, and set these emotions into poetry of heartbreaking beauty. - Summary by Carolin
