After Loss, Turning To Poetry For Grief And Healing

It's a project poet Kevin Young took on after the sudden death of his own father - when Young looked for, but couldnt find, such a collection. Early in the book, Kevin Young includes a poem that has special meaning to him because it was read at his father's funeral. It's W.H. Auden's "Funeral Blues."
