On the death of his 25-year music partner and friend, Nancy Lynn Bright, Childers sets out to say goodbye to her, imagining that she is in the Bardo, and he is writing to her there. His method was to write a poem to her every day for the 49 days of the Bardo journey, beginning the day after she died. The poems tell the story of their relationship. They deal with grief, joy, confusion, sadness, gratitude, and acceptance. It is not a linear story, but more like a portrait in words., Poetry, Bardo, Relationship, Grief, Henry A. Childers| | 58PAGES
