The Poetry of Grief, Gratitude, and Reverence (Wisdom) is a new anthology from John Brehm, editor of The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy. Signposts on a journey through the darkest and brightest moments of our lives, the poems gathered here are explorations of loss, of thanksgiving, of transformation. Some show a path forward and others simply acknowledge and empathize with where we are, but all are celebrations of poetry’s ability to express what seemed otherwise inexpressible, to touch deep inside our hearts — and also pull ourselves out of ourselves and into greater connection with the world around us. The Poetry of Grief, Gratitude, and Reverence includes poems by Rainer Maria Rilke, Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, Czesław Miłosz, Seamus Heaney, Billy Collins, Joy Harjo, Danusha Lameris, Ada Limón, Kevin Young, Arthur Sze, Ellen Bass, Li-Young Lee, Natasha Trethewey, and many more. Brehm also includes an essay on appreciative attention and links to guided meditations for select poems, offering us a chance to have an even deeper experience of reflection. Brehm will be joined by The Poetry of Grief, Gratitude, and Reverence contributors Andrea Hollander, Paulann Petersen, Maggie Chula, and Justin Rigamonti.Preorder a Signed Edition: https://www.powells.com/book/the-poetry-of-grief-gratitude-and-reverence-9781614298724/1-2
