About This Item

Tight and unmarked-" A book in which some of our best writers address their own losses and help us endure our own. A heartbreaking, comforting, and beautiful collection of true stories about grief and mourning from some of Canada's best-known writers. When Jean Baird's daughter, Bronwyn, died suddenly, Jean's deep instinct was to turn to books to help her in her time of sudden loss. Although she found that the thoughts of counselors, psychologists, Buddhists, and self-help gurus were perhaps some help, the works that truly reached the heart of the matter were by literary writers, largely from the UK and the US. Scanning the Canadian landscape, Jean and her husband George Bowering found elegies and tributes, but little from our writers about the person who is left behind to mourn or what it takes to endure grieving. The Heart Does Break an anthology of twenty original pieces sets out to fill that gap. About the Author: Jean Baird has been an English professor, magazine publisher, a consultant for non-profit organizations, and creative director of Canada Book Week for the Writers? Trust of Canada. George Bowering is a poet, novelist, essayist, critic, historian, and editor. In 2002 he was appointed Canada's first Parliamentary Poet Laureate. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada."
