What is The Depositions : New and Selected Essays on Being and Ceasing to Be about?

For nearly four decades, as a poet, essayist, and small-town funeral director, Lynch has probed relations between the literary and mortuary arts. This collection of essays showcase Lynch's signature blend of memoir, meditation, gallows humor, and poetic precision. They illuminate not only how we die, but also how we live. -- adapted from jacket;"A wry and compassionate selection of essays reflecting on mortals and mortality, from the acclaimed author of The Undertaking. For nearly four decades, poet, essayist, and small- town funeral director Thomas Lynch has probed relations between the literary and mortuary arts. His life's work with the dead and the bereaved has informed four previous collections of nonfiction, each exploring identity and humanity with Lynch's signature blend of memoir, meditation, gallows humor, and poetic precision. The Depositions provides an essential selection from these masterful collections, as well as new essays in which the space between Lynch's hyphenated identities-as an Irish American, undertaker-poet-is narrowed by the deaths of poets, the funerals of friends, the loss of neighbors, intimate estrangements, and the slow demise of a beloved dog.
