More about the book

Exploring the depths of grief, this poignant collection by Elisabeth Rynell captures the raw emotions following the loss of her young husband. Each poem transforms everyday experiences—therapy sessions, intimate memories, and nature excursions—into profound expressions of sorrow. The unyielding honesty of the verses is beautifully conveyed in Rika Lesser's translation, marking the debut of Rynell's poetry in English. Critics praise the translation for its sympathetic resonance and fidelity to the original's emotional weight.
