I wrote this grief poem for my late brother in the early years of his death. He died from cancer in 2014. I was living in Ohio when he passed away in California, where my family is located. Since his passing, and the following deaths of others in my family, I have been grieving in isolation, searching for a way to live with the wideness of loss.

Two-Way Mirror: A Life of Elizabeth Barrett Browning "It is this publicly engaged Elizabeth that Fiona Sampson sets before us in this fine biography, the first since Margaret Forster’s more than 30 years ago. For her frame and point of reference Sampson uses Aurora Leigh, the verse novel that Barrett Browning wrote in 1856, which tells the story of a young female writer’s career, specifically an artist’s development." via THE GUARDIAN |

What Sparks Poetry: Vivek Narayanan on "Ayodhya" "Every translation is a collaboration among many, including all those who have come to this terrain before you. I am indebted even to those translations whose approach I reject because they gave me the benefit of having something to reject. If nothing is to be lost, something must first be gained." |
