people graciously gave me a range of things to read. For me, it turned out that poetry/essays -this book, "The Inferno"(another story entirely) and subsequently "In the Midst of Winter"- were what I could handle and what I needed (thank you LAM). I had read Joan Didion's book early on and was fascinated but, in retrospect realize that it was not so much resonance as it was voyeurism and fascination with her writing that allowed me to finish it. The selections in this book (from Horace to Elizabeth Bishop) are just right for reading sporadically when I'm either at wits end and deep in my tears, spaced out on a plane or just sitting in the occasionally brilliant light or deep darkness of the strange new land of mourning -when I am looking for something to help me move forward. I wish it had another 30 pages with late 20th and 21st century poems but I'll get to those.
