In Memoriam - Thirty Poems About Bereavement
In Memoriam - Thirty Poems About Bereavement
To compliment the 'Living With Death' exhibition at Leeds City Museum.
This second edition of this much-loved anthology contains poems of bereavement selected for their beauty and for the sense of consolation that they offer. There are poems that question and mourn, alongside others that accept the inevitability of death and give thanks for a life well lived.
Poems old and new reflect on the experience of losing a much-loved parent, child, sibling or friend, as well as on the immense loss of life in the two World Wars. For those arranging a funeral or simply seeking the quiet company of words to help them through the long process of grieving, this varied and reflective selection is sure to offer comfort.
Doubles up as a greetings card.
