Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. "The Undertaking : Life Studies from the Dismal Trade" was written by Thomas Lynch and published by W. W. Norton & Company in 1997. The following is excerpted from the book's blurb |> "Every year I bury a couple hundred of my townspeople." So opens the singular testimony of the poet Thomas Lynch. Like all poets, inspired by death, Lynch is, unlike others, also hired to bury the dead or to cremate them and to tend to their families in a small Michigan town where he serves as the funeral director. In the conduct of these duties he has kept his eyes open, his ears tuned to the indispensable vernaculars of love and grief. Here is the voice of both witness and functionary. Lynch stands between"the living and the living who have died" with outrage and amazement, awe and calm, straining for the brief glimpse we all get of what mortality means to a vital species. This is a book of elegance and grace, full of fierce compassion and rich in humor and humanity - lessons taught to the living by the dead.<| TITLE : The Undertaking : Life Studies from the Dismal Trade AUTHOR : Thomas Lynch IMPRINT : W.

Octavo softcover (VG); all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition, but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book will reduce your overall postage cost.
