Boosey and Hawkes

collapse expand iconDescription

This is the second in the trilogy called Widow Poems, written after the sudden death of a lover. Each of the three represents a different stage in the arc of the poet's grief. In this one, the bereaved begins to handle the material affairs of the deceased as she, glossing Shakespeare's famous funeral poem, contrasts his state of peace with her own dread.
