Product Description:
This collection consists at its core of a sequence of poems that speak to the loss of the writer's brother to suicide. These poems stun us by their restraint and simplicity, and by their astonishment that this life, so important to so many, could be extinguished in such a manner. Harrison's poems are impeccably crafted and move through narrative seamlessly--dry, naive, vulnerable, always accessible.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Wonderful for survivors of a suicide
I cried while reading this book, but could not put it down until I finished it. Since purchasing it, I have read it many times, and even purchased a copy for my Survivors after Suicide support group so that others could read it. Harrison gives words to the cries, the screams, the questions and the agony of our hearts after the suicide of a loved one. You must read this if you have lost someone to suicide.

Part II is a partial recasting and continuation of Harrison's stunning chapbook entitled "An Undertaking"--a very personal journey through great tragedy.
As with Harrison's previous books, his poems are extremely accessible and make one stop and think about life and the influence that we have on one another and our circumstances ... Read More
