The Art of Losing: Poems of Grief and Healing by Kevin Young
4.0
I didn't love the last section, but overall it's a really good anthology.
"When grief comes to you like a purple gorilla,
you must count yourself lucky.
You must offer her what's left
of your dinner, the book you were trying to finish
you must put aside
and make her a place at the foot of your bed,
her eyes moving from the clock
to the television and back again."
