The Art of Losing: Poems of Grief and Healing by Kevin Young

5.0

While I didn't connect with every poem, this is a collection that I will keep going back to over and over. It's a book that will sit with me in the middle of the night, and it always gives me what I need: sometimes it rages with me at the injustice of loss, other times it is melancholy with nostalgia for someone who will never make new memories, and yet still other times it is a comforting friend to cry with. Thank you, Kevin Young, for compiling such tender pieces to help us all walk through the darkness together.
