Description
Gabriel A Poem by Edward Hirsch is a powerful and poignant collection of poems that explore the complexities of grief and loss. In this deeply personal work, Hirsch shares his own story of sorrow and transformation, weaving it with the experiences of other poets who have lost children. Through propulsive three-line stanzas, Hirsch tells the story of Gabriel's life and death, capturing the bewildering nature of grief and the ways in which it can both destroy and transform us. This is a book that will be read and reread, as its themes of human suffering and resilience continue to resonate with readers. A landmark poem that enters the broad stream of human grief, Gabriel A Poem raises the strange hope that we find in the writer's act of witnessing and transformation.
