“Poets are our intrepid adventurers into the unknowable, thinkers on the unthinkable. Epstein’s collection brings us a refreshing look at the brave task of examining the most common, in fact ultimate, human experience of dying, all too often shunned and studiously avoided in our Western society. Anytime we can pause to consider death, ..., we are brought more closely to fully living, to valuing each and every breath and moment as only the consideration of death allows.”
—Jana Baldridge Vargas, author of The Promise of Death, The Passion of Life: A Reflective Exploration of Death, Loss and Living Fully.
“In the face of death, human beings create art. Robert Epstein has collected pieces of that art together in one place for your consideration. Within this collection you will find your own awareness of death reflected in the voices of your fellow human beings, as we all seek to come to terms with impermanence.”
—Patricia J Anderson, All of Us:... More > Americans Talk about the Meaning of Death.< Less
