Everything for and against, upside down and inside out, grief first then its dogged shadow life, which could be joy. In \u003ci\u003eThe Anti-Grief\u003c\/i\u003e, Marianne Boruch challenges our conceptions of memory, age, and time, revealing the many layers of perception and awareness. A book of meditations, these poems venture out into the world, jump their synapse, tie and untie knots, and misbehave. From Emily Dickinson's chamber pot to meat-eating plants, from an angry octopus to crowds of salmon swimming upstream, Boruch's imagery blurs the line between natural and supernatural. And of course there is grief--working through grief, getting over grief, living with grief, and in these magnificent poems, anti-grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarianne Boruch's nine books of poetry include \u003ci\u003eEventually One Dreams the Real Thing\u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eCadaver, Speak\u003c\/i\u003e (Copper Canyon, 2016 and 2012), three essay collections, and a memoir, \u003ci\u003eThe Glimpse Traveler\u003c\/i\u003e, about hitchhiking in the US in 1971(Indiana, 2011).
