To grieve

Will Daddario, Matthew Goulish, Ugly Duckling Presse, McNaughton & Gunn, Woodberry Poetry Room (Harvard College Library)

"What does it mean to grieve rightly? Might there be such a thing as an ethics of grief, a practice of turning my full attention to the specificity of each loss so as to carry such loss in me and to become, in the words of Gilles Deleuze, worthy of what has happened to me? To Grieve answers these questions through the author’s personal and philosophical ruminations following the sudden deaths of his son, father, step-father, friend, grandmother, and cat. Attending specifically to the ways in which grief-space appears, grief-time imposes itself, and grief-language bends itself around the emotional acuity of the wound, this long-form essay nestles up against the unnamable and pauses to measure its heft. With a Foreword by Matthew Goulish."Publisher's website (viewed 01/06/2017).
