This is the book Tom Zuba wishes he had read after his daughter Erin died. And after his wife Trici died. It's the book he wishes he'd been handed following his son Rory's death. But Tom had to live it. First. Before he could write it. For you. In the beginning, Tom did grief the old way. Repressing, denying, pretending, numbing and stuffing every feeling and every emotion that arose. He created pain on top of pain until he began searching for a new way. A new way to do grief. Once he gave himself permission to mourn, healing began. Along the way, Tom discovered that: * Grief is not the enemy. Grief can be one of our greatest teachers. * It's the stories we tell that determine whether or not we will heal. * We will always have a relationship with the people we love that have died. * We were not born to suffer. We were born to be radiant. There is a new way to do grief.

He grew up in the pioneer town of Temuco, briefly encountering Gabriela Mistral, who taught there for a time. In 1920 he went to Santiago to study, and the following year published his first collection of poetry, \u003ci\u003eLa Cancion de la Fiesta\u003c\/i\u003e. A second collection, \u003ci\u003eCrepusculario\u003c\/i\u003e, brought him critical recognition; and in 1924 the hugely successful \u003ci\u003eVeinte Poemas de Amor y una Cancion Desesperada\u003c\/i\u003e appeared. From 1927 to 1943, Neruda lived abroad, serving as a diplomat in Rangoon, Colombo, Batavia, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, and Mexico City. This is the period that saw the publication of the first two volumes of his celebrated \u003ci\u003eResidencia en la Tierra\u003c\/i\u003e. He joined the Communist Party of Chile after World War II, was prosecuted as a subversive, and began an exile that took him to Russia, Eastern Europe, and China. Already the most renowned Latin American poet of his time, he returned to Chile in 1952. He died there in 1973, having just seen the fourth edition of his \u003ci\u003eObras Completas\u003c\/i\u003e through the press. In receiving the Nobel Prize in 1971, he had said that the poet must achieve a balance \"between solitude and solidarity, between feeling and action, between the intimacy of one's self, the intimacy of mankind, and the relevation of nature.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eW.

The sequences are meditations on a carousel: the past returns as the future is foretold. But \"Repetition won't guarantee wisdom,\" Joudah writes, demanding that we resuscitate language \"before [our] wisdom is an echo.\" These poems of urgency and care sing powerfully through a combination of intimate clarity and great dilations of scale, sending the reader on heartrending spins through echelons of time. \u003ci\u003e[...]\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis a wonder.

His life and literary career were bracketed almost entirely by the rise and fall of Generalissimo Francisco Franco, notorious for the suppression of literature. Born in 1929, he was six years old when Garc?a Lorca was murdered in Granada at the outbreak if the Civil War, and his collected poems, Las personas del verbo, first appeared in 1975, the year Franco died. What is surprising is that Gil de Biedma was a leftist, homosexual poet from the Catalan capitol, Barcelona - all of Franco's favorite things - who not only published books of autobiographical poetry in Spain but was known as a poet of social conscience as well as erotic lyricism.

His poetry is collected in the anthology Las personas del verbo (1975).
