Inhaltsangabe

Sleepwalker's Guide to Grieving is a collection of poems about loss-through the death or vanishing of loved ones-but also as we bear witness to the tragedies heaped one upon the other in an increasingly turbulent world. Shakespeare wrote, "Grief makes one hour ten", for the path of bereavement can feel endless and hopeless to navigate. As we struggle sleeplessly through our sorrows, grief is that reflection of acute and shifting distress that accompanies our losses.

If grief can darken the path through loss, so can it suddenly illuminate. Harwood writes: "From a distance grief moves like any other shadow-caressing first, then smothering the light".

This book is a poignant journey through loss and longing, punctuated by the dying friend whose beloved racehorse presses her head against his own..."She makes a sound deep in her throat. Grief sounds that way".
