America's much celebrated poet-undertaker Thomas Lynch is renowned
for his thought-provoking poems on life, faith, doubt and death.
This new retrospective shows the passage of his work over time, 'a
pilgrimage of sorts through growing old and facing death - subjects
that caregivers know all too well. Lynch's upfront, unvarnished
style is likely to resolate with many who have come face to face
with life's most important questions' (Mary Plummer, New York
Times). Lynch - like Wallace Stevens and William Carlos Williams -
is a poet who writes about real things with language rooted in the
everyday yet masterfully infused with power. He spent his working
life as an undertaker in Midwest America, becoming in his off-hours
a writer of exceptional insight with much to say about life's
questions and mysteries - big and small. Drawing on his own daily
routine, he transforms the mundane task of preparing the dead into
life-affirming accounts of how we live our lives. His lyrical,
elegiac poems describe the dead citizens of of his home town, his
own family relationships, and scenes and myths from his Irish
Catholic upbringing.
