Hardback. Condition: Good. In this New York Times bestseller, Jill Bialosky, poet and author, undergoes a profound and lyrical investigation (New York magazine) as she attempts to understand the events and emotional state that led her sister to commit suicide and the impact of her death on family and loved ones. On April 15, 1990, Kim, Jill Bialosky's younger sister, arrived home from a bar after a fight with her boyfriend. She took her mother's keys, went into the closed garage, and turned on the ignition. Her body was discovered the next morning by a neighborhood boy. For decades, Bialosky has grappled with the guilt, questions, and devastation that was unloosed by Kim's suicide. Now, in this remarkable memoir, she attempts to reconstruct the complex inner life of her sister and in doing so, unlocks the nature of suicide itself and how we are each deeply affected by it. In the course of trying to understand what drove her sister that night, Bialosky examines some of the most fundamental questions of human nature--why some of us more emotionally stable than others, even when raised in the same circumstances; how the unconscious shape our identities; what the difference is between depression and suicidal feelings; and why we sometimes fail to love and protect one another. Combining Kim's own personal writings with family history, medical reportage, literary criticism, and research, Bialosky has crafted an extraordinarily valiant and resonant testimony to the healing powers of truth and empathy (Booklist).…

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Bialosky's erudite and instructive approach to poetry is] itself a refreshing tonic. --Chicago Tribune Wisdom and deep compassion.make Bialosky's book] a tremendous asset both to readers and other writers. --The Washington Post An unconventional and inventive coming-of-age memoir organized around fifty-one remarkable poems by poets such as Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Wallace Stevens and Sylvia Plath, from a critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author and poet. For Jill Bialosky, certain poems stand out like signposts at pivotal moments in a life: the death of a father, adolescence, first love, leaving home, the suicide of a sister, marriage, the birth of a child, the day in New York City the Twin Towers fell. As Bialosky narrates these moments, she illuminates the ways in which particular poems offered insight, compassion, and connection, and shows how poetry can be a blueprint for living. In Poetry Will Save Your Life, Bialosky recalls when she encountered each formative poem, and how its importance and meaning evolved over time, allowing new insights and perceptions to emerge. While Bialosky's personal stories animate each poem, they touch on many universal experiences, from the awkwardness of girlhood, to crises of faith and identity, from braving a new life in a foreign city to enduring the loss of a loved one, from becoming a parent to growing creatively as a poet and artist. In Poetry Will Save Your Life, Bialosky has crafted an engaging and entirely original examination of a life while celebrating the enduring value of poetry, not as a purely cerebral activity, but as a means of conveying personal experience and as a source of comfort and intimacy. In doing so she brilliantly illustrates the ways in which poetry can be an integral part of life itself and can, in fact, save your life.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2025 BY: The New Yorker * The New York Public Library * The Times Literary Supplement (London) "With tenderness and candor, [a] nuanced and final farewell.Writing that is this fine is an act of emotional preservation." --TheWall Street Journal Jill Bialosky, the poet behind the "tender, absorbing, and deeply moving memoir" (Entertainment Weekly) History of a Suicide, returns with a lyrical portrait of her mother's life, told in reverse order from burial to birth. Iris Yvonne Bialosky's death in March 2020 unleashed a torrent of emotions in her daughter Jill--grief, guilt, confusion, doubt. Now, with her poet's eye for detail and novelist's flair for storytelling, Jill Bialosky presents a profoundly moving elegy of her mother's life--telling Iris's story in reverse order. Starting with her mother's end and the physical/cognitive decline that led her to a care home, Bialosky traces Iris through her battle with depression, the tragedy of her youngest daughter's suicide, her strained and short second marriage, the death of her beloved first husband, which left her, at twenty-five years old, to care for three daughters under the age of three. We experience her joyful first marriage and busy teenage years, as well as the trauma of losing her own mother at just eight years old. As Iris grows younger and younger, she becomes a multidimensional woman and we come to understand her difficulties and triumphs, her neediness and her generosity, her pride and her despair. The End Is the Beginning is a brave and compassionate celebration of a woman's life and a window into a daughter's inextricable bond to her mother.…
