Description
Victoria Chang's Obit is a powerful and lyrical exploration of grief and loss. After her mother's passing, Chang wrote scores of poetic obituaries to process her emotions, transforming the traditional form into a unique and evocative medium. In this book, she reimagines the obituary as a way to express the love and loss that lingers after someone has died. Through her poems, Chang names what has been lost - civility, language, the future, and even her mother's blue dress - and explores the cultural impact of death on the living. This unflinching and deeply personal work is a testament to the enduring power of memory and the human experience. With Obit, Chang creates a powerful and moving tribute to the living, one that acknowledges the complexity and beauty of grief.
