A collection from the literature of loss, combining deep emotion with moments of levity Elspeth Barker is no stranger to loss. In this very personal selection, she shows it's many aspects. Death and bereavement form the core, but there is also loss of liberty, homeland, freedom, faith and inspiration. In prose and verse, from the Old Testament and the Greek Anthology to the present day, she finds strong feeling and deep emotion. But the strength eloquence and, at times, the wit of the writers and the power of their writing bring relief and reassurance that,in acknowledging and understanding loss, we celebrate what has been.
