That’s how you survive. Poems sit at the intersection \u0026amp; sing for us.” Marshall’s third collection follows in the traditions of the epithalamium (wedding poem) and the elegy (funeral poem), bearing witness to love and grief as essential to how we understand ourselves and our unending relationship with each other.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLife is a duet of great joys and stunning losses, and within this idiosyncratic miracle that we have both the honor and horror of inhabiting, we are often left speechless.
