"How darkness makes beautiful the same fire daylight ignores. How that queer flower blooms best at night"
"The body, she was saying, is a contested zone between presence and absence, between consciousness and eternal sleep, between the earth and the afterlife, between ourselves and the terrifying ambiguity of the void."
Prufer's collection is a beautiful and often sorrowful reflection about death. His precise prose is astounding & profound.
Any of these dark and lovely poems featuring the grim reaper would make excellent lyrics for a heavy 'death' metal song. A great find that I stumbled upon at my local library by happenstance.
