Absolutely loved this. Never read anything like it. The style is wholly unique and incredibly interesting/moving. Requires a bit of background knowledge of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Path.
“Their voice was the life and song of their mother. Unfinished. Beautiful. Everything.” Words that ring through a belly-depth pain, an out-of-this-world lingering to an unrealistic escape while equally cherishing the incredible gift of life. These are equally the words of a father completely adrift in mourning, trying to cope by creating a totem animal for himself and his two young sons, Ted Hughes inspired. Max Porter’s debut Grief is the Thing with Feathers – a hybrid, expressionistic response to loss – is one to feel deep down.
love it, would have appreciated a grief raven myself to talk to
