The Book of Widows
by M.Travis Lane
Wood engravings by George A.Walker
“Travis Lane has crafted a book comprised of grief: the first half is devoted to grieving myths, taking famous widows and their kicking sorrows; the second half is visceral grief, the poet’s own, focusing on the death of her husband and its aftermath. This is a morbid collection in the best sense: funereal and felt, a resigned protest against what can’t be fought, the inevitability of all things returning to poetry.” – Shane Neilson
