As darkly humorous as they are deeply felt, these poems aim their anger at Southwest Airlines, their suffering toward Pema Chödrön and Mary Oliver, and scorn in the direction of Randall Jarell and a problematic cat. Grief is unpredictable and wild, creating an urge to retreat from and lash out at a world that insists on going on; yet the fever-pitch cannot last forever. In this concise collection, Van Prooyen's poems navigate ferocity and futility brought on by deep sorrow but turn and return to memory as a balm; the sting of loss simmers down, and the ache of missing reverberates like the greatest scream in the history of Rock \u0026amp; Roll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 28, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53425837736243,"sku":"9781963245141","price":19.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/GAyZcIE13c9781963245141.webp?v=1780524418","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/sorry-we-no-longer-offer-bereavement-fares-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
