Why I Didn't Go to Your Funeral

By Colin Pope

Poetry. Haunted and haunting, Colin Pope's bracing poems limn, with armorless and spectacular candor, what it means to be left behind and shaken to the core by a lover's upending illness and suicide. In these risk-taking pages, this new and necessary poet becomes a steely bard, a wide-awake chronicler, and an intrepid philosopher of the word farewell. This brave, go-for-broke first book has a razor-keen beauty and empathy so precise, so powerful and arresting that it's already clear that WHY I DIDN'T GO TO YOUR FUNERAL deserves its rightful place beside the finest literature of grief and mourning.
