Contributors include: Edward Butscher, Roland Flint, David Ignatow, Molly Peacock, Robert Peters, Simon Perchik, Peter Wilde and over 100 bereaved people sharing their grief. They are powerful and varied in their approach yet never forget the demands of the art that shaped them; fierce in their legitimate mourning wherein readers will find consolation without sentimentality or mysticism.
