Description
The Lonely Funeral Poets at the Gravesides of the Forgotten by Maarten Inghels and Frank Starik. In Amsterdam and Antwerp, thousands of people are found dead each year without any family or friends to attend their funerals. To address this, two poets initiated a project where they write personal poems for the deceased based on research into their lives. Over 300 'lonely funerals' have been attended by poets in both cities, with volumes of prose and poetry about some of these forgotten lives published in Amsterdam and Antwerp. This book brings together prose and poems from two anthologies, featuring 31 'forgotten lives'. Each individual's life and manner of death is described in a moving prose piece that also details the funeral itself. A poignant collection that sheds light on those often overlooked by society.
