Synopsis:

Masterful essays that illuminate not only how we die but also how we live. Thomas Lynch, poet, funeral director, and author of the highly praised The Undertaking, winner of an American Book Award and finalist for the National Book Award, continues to examine the relations between the "literary and mortuary arts." "Lynch engages the reader with a mixture of poetic and funerary elements. . . . his voice is rich and generous."? Richard Bernstein, New York Times" What makes him such a fine essayist is that it's just the business of everyday life and death to him."? Los Angeles Times Book Review" Few readers will walk away from this volume less than stunned and grateful."? Jay Parini, author of Benjamin's Crossing" A luminous work of words."? Nicholas Delbanco, author of What Remains

About the Author: Thomas Lynch's stories, poems, and essays have appeared in Granta, the Atlantic, Harper's, the New York Times, and elsewhere. His first collection of essays, The Undertaking, was a finalist for the National Book Award. Lynch lives in Milford, Michigan.
