In The Tempered Dark: Contemporary Poets Transcending Elegy
by Lisa Fay CoutleyHuman beings have always turned to poetry—language at its most sublime—for comfort and affirmation in times of tragedy. This anthology, In the Tempered Dark edited by Lisa Fay Coutley, goes a step further as both an exploration and a balm for grief; these elegies and dark odes are accompanied by short essays from each poet. Together, the poems and these notes left by the wizards who made them, make this book a tome of acknowledgment, a testament to survival.
