Περιγραφή για A Scattering and Anniversary Christopher Reid Faber & Faber

This edition brings together A Scattering and Anniversary into a single book of lamentation and remembrance, its subject being Christopher Reid\'s wife, the actress Lucinda Gane, who died of cancer at the age of fifty-five. A Scattering was first published in the UK in 2009 to wide acclaim, winning the Costa Book of the Year Award. This moving and fiercely self-reflective collection is divided into four poetic sequences. The first was written during a holiday a few months before Gane\'s death with the knowledge that the end was approaching; the second recalls her last courageous weeks, spent in a hospice in London; the third continues the exploration of bereavement from a variety of perspectives; and the fourth addresses her directly, celebrating her life, personality and achievements.Pairing A Scattering for the first time with Anniversary, which was written to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Gane\'s death, this volume brings Reid into dialogue, again, with the wife he loved. A moving exploration of the stages of grief and how the \'weighty emptinesses\' that remain after bereavement change us, A Scattering andAnniversary show us what it means to love, lose and - forever changed - continue on.
