Elegy: Poems door Mary Jo Bang
These poems are short, simply written and very powerful. They center on the poet's loss of a son and chronicle the emotional aftermath of a year of grief. One contemplates the astonishing reality that a child has become a heap of ash stored in an urn. These are not poems of a hopeful moving on, but a solemn representation of a time of memory and shock.
