In Grief Land Carrie Shipers explores the paradoxical nature of bereavement as both a universal human experience and an intensely personal one. The poems interrogate and dismiss common notions of loss and recovery through a series of letter-poems--to authors who have written about grief, to the speaker's dead husband, and to a society that believes it has the right to dictate how a widow should feel and act. The collection explores living with grief without being consumed by it and how to emerge into a new life.
Carrie Shipers is the author of Family Resemblances: Poems (UNM Press), Cause for Concern, and Ordinary Mourning. Her poems have appeared in New England Review, Prairie Schooner, the Southern Review, and other journals.
Full of rage and empathy and precise renditions of loss, Grief Land should be required reading for anyone who must eventually confront this kind of pain."--Jehanne Dubrow, author of The Arranged Marriage: Poems
