When we suffer personal loss, it is often difficult to express our feelings, but reading poetry can help us through the mourning process. It provides the opportunity for an intense engagement with words and silence that can get closer, and in a more concise manner than prose, to a shaping of grief. Poetry offers the sort of intimacy, profundity and imaginative power, backed by a weight of historical tradition, that allows us to arrive at a greater understanding of our own loss while considering the experience of others. We will look at key examples of 20th- and 21st-century poems in order to uncover the nature of mourning and the different literary responses to death.
