Written upon the death of his former partner, Mary Farl Powers – an acclaimed printmaker who died of cancer at just 43 years old – Muldoon’s virtuosic poem explores his grief, Powers’ art, and their love through his characteristic sharp humor and ranging associative style – moving from painful lamentation to powerful reaffirmation of life and love.
“I thought of you tonight”.
When love ends with loss, can beauty come from grief?
Can death reaffirm life through art?
“One of the most outstanding elegies of the 20th century” – The Guardian
