Grief Land: Poems (Mary Burritt Christiansen Poetry Series)
Poetry
Synthetic audio, Automated braille
Summary
In Grief Land Carrie Shipers explores the paradoxical nature of bereavement as both a universal human experience and an intensely personal one. The poems interrogate and dismiss common notions of loss and recovery through a series of letter-poems—to authors who… have written about grief, to the speaker&’s dead husband, and to a society that believes it has the right to dictate how a widow should feel and act. The collection explores living with grief without being consumed by it and how to emerge into a new life.
