In this sensitive collection, loss finds a voice-or several voices-in the poetry, fiction, letters, and diaries of the world's great writers. Here are James Agee, recording the shock of his father's death; William Shakespeare, making poetry of Cleopatra's grief; the Biblical wisdom of The Book of Lamentations; the psychological acuity of Marcel Proust. Here are mourners from classical Rome to eleventh-century China, from the Paiute Indians to present-day Ireland. Arranged in sections that correspond to the stages of mourning, In the Midst of Winter is a volume whose breadth and resonance make it invaluable and utterly unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49680455794928,"sku":"NEW0679738274","price":16.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/in-the-midst-of-winter-selections-from-the-literature-of-mo","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
