The Art of Losing: Poems of Grief and Healing Review: A Wonderful Condolence Gift, But You'll Want to Keep a Copy, Too - What a wonderful condolence gift this book would be. These poems should be shared at funerals and wakes or read privately through the months of heartache. Poetry lovers will want this book on their home shelf to enjoy again and again. Kevin Young’s Book of Hours showed the world his gift for putting eulogy and grief on paper, and he used that insight in editing this collection. At the best funerals, we remember our loved ones with both tears and laughter, and these poems contain that wholeness of being human. Too many anthologies go back to the same old, same old, dead, white male poets and poems that are dense with dated language. Young chose to focus on more accessible, more relevant, and more modern poems. With only a few exceptions, he pulled together twentieth and twenty-first century poems. For once, women and minority writers are well represented. There’s something everyone can relate to. Many of my favorite poems are here: “Otherwise” and “Let Evening Come” by Jane Kenyon, “Funeral Blues” by W. H. Auden, “Wild Geese” and by Mary Oliver, “Mourners” by Ted Kooser, “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night” by Dylan Thomas, and for a smile, “The Dead” by Billy Collins. With nearly 300 pages of poetry, Young was able to cover an incredible range. You’re sure to meet some authors you don’t know well. There’s also a convenient index by subject to help those searching for a single-poem to read at a service or send to a friend.

She's only 23 years old, too young to have lost both parents. My own grief at this loss made me remember all the other family members and friends who've passed, each death different from the rest but no less painful as we age. Even though I've read many books on grieving I decided to see if there was a book of poetry for these events which deeply mark our lives. I was pleased to see the fine poetry that's been collected in this book. So I ordered another copy of this book to keep since death is inevitable, and life so full that we need poetry to help move the sadness as time goes on. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Art of Losing: Poems of Grief and Healing - Wound from the Mouth of a Wound - The Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded: Poems --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8304619-the-art-of-losing-poems-of-grief-and-healing](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/8304619-the-art-of-losing-poems-of-grief-and-healing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
