Tenebrae: A Memoir of Love and Death

By Dan Flanigan

Book Overview

A literary meditation on grief, ritual, and the space between light and darkness.

In the Tenebrae service, candles are extinguished one by one until only darkness remains.

In Tenebrae: A Memoir of Love and Death, Dan Flanigan brings that ritual into

language-using poetry and reflection to explore the emotional and spiritual aftermath of

losing his wife.

These poems are not only expressions of grief-they are structured acts of remembrance.

Moving between memory, faith, doubt, and silence, the collection captures the gradual

unfolding of loss and the fragile persistence of love.
