Geographies of the Dead’s elegies, written to memorialize individuals, also speaks to the universal experience of loss while its meditations explore the absences that return to us in memory or as ghosts in dreams. The poems have been described as “revelatory,” “powerful,” “haunting,” and “eloquently crafted.” While offering no answers to the unanswerable, the collection explores accommodations with death though science, the natural world, and our common human experience.

The following either have poems dedicated to them and/or elegies written about them:

• Betty Baker
• Donald Bivens
• Richard “Rick” Brehm
• Larry Cramer
• Dominic Deluka
• Richard Dine
• William “Bill” Hidenfelter
• Galway Kinnell
• Thomas Kon
• Doris Roe
• Starr Dave Sam (nee Nejma Dawood)
• William “Bill” Shuter
• Don Staake
• Jane Wallace
And my mother, Ann. and father, Tony.
