Once, Poems About Grief: Meghan O’Rourke

Book

Earlier this year, Meghan O’Rourke’s memoir of her mother’s death was published as The Long Goodbye. Now her companion book of grief poems has been released — Once. While this collection parallels her journey in prose, the language and rich images of poetry offer a different, and perhaps sharper, way of expressing and understanding grief. You can set the two books next to each other and read both at the same time to experience the full depth of Meghan’s loss.
