This week’s Deep Water poem is the final poem in the final book of beloved poet Lee Sharkey, who passed away last year. Written by a woman on the cusp of the beyond, “Grief” astounds me over and over with its vulnerability, wisdom, and grace. This poem is at once devastating and transcendent.
Join us on Thursday to celebrate the launch of Lee’s final book, “I Will Not Name It Except to Say,” in an online event hosted by the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance and Kelly’s Books To Go, and featuring readings by Lee’s friends and colleagues.
