Description
This book is a collection of elegies by the English writer. It is notable for its range of subjects, and for its density of detail. One measure of the book's success is that the details are so clear, the intimacy so convincing that the reader's imagination retains the distinctiveness of the thirty-five subjects. The cumulative effect of these elegies is an affirmation that something of our individuality, our texture, can continue after death.

The cumulative effect of these elegies, then, is an affirmation- that something of our individuality, our texture, can continue after death."" --The Antioch Review
