German poet Friedrich Ruckert's (1788-1866) youngest children died
of scarlet fever, the pandemic of his age. Over six months in 1834,
he wrote hundreds of laments that were published posthumously in
the classic poetry collection, Kindertotenlieder. Here in English
for the first time, these evocative modern translations by a fellow
bereaved father reveal "an honest grappling with grief" (The
Christian Century). Each poem is accompanied by practical insight
for the bereaved, along with personal anecdotes, historical and
cultural information, the latest research on grief, and discussions
of literary and biblical allusions.
