In these haunting, urgent poems, Whitney Koo interrogates the notion that death is a singular event. Here, grief is illuminated as a living thing, sometimes violent, sometimes hungry, sometimes a \" long \/ drawn sucker punch.\" Through striking, vivid language, Koo reinvents the elegy as something past, present, future-- and we are both witness and mourner.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhitney Koo is the Founder\/Executive Editor of Gasher Press.
