"better to have lost" is the way I have dealt with those passing and processing the idea of death in my life. From thinking about how we as humans process death to honing in on the death of relationships, this chapbook explores every feeling. Death is always around us, waiting, whether we feel it or not, and it demands to be acknowledged.
Bekah Stogner's chapbook on loss took me inside the realm of fresh, young wounds and the presence of death that lingers for years afterwards in rooms, in "the hollowness of the walls," in souls. Death of family, loved ones, strange ones, estranged ones, and death of relationships.
