Ten Poems To Say
Goodbye is a collection of poems carefully chosen by Roger Housden to help
us confront and understand death. This book consists of works by ten different
poets, each addressing different aspects of death and grief. The author accompanies each selection with a
personal essay that may help the reader appreciate the poem, but the poems
themselves are the heart of this book. The author writes that with most poetry
collections he finds “no more than a couple of poems that strike me to the
core.” In this collection, he has assembled some of these, each poem a gem that
expresses grief, comfort, regret, relief and other emotions associated with
life and death.
