Time Lived, Without Its Flow

“I work to earth my heart.”`Time Lived, Without Its Flow` is a beautiful, unflinching essay on the nature of grief from critically acclaimed poet Denise Riley. From the horrific experience of maternal grief Riley wrote her celebrated collection `Say Something Back`, a modern classic of British poetry. This essay is a companion piece to that work, looking at the way time stops when we lose someone suddenly from our lives.The first half is formed of diary-like entries written by Riley after the news of her son’™s death, the entries building to paint a live portrait of loss. The second half is a ruminative post script written some years later with Riley looking back at the experience philosophically and attempting to map through it a literature of consolation. Written in precise and exacting prose, with remarkable insight and grace this book will form kind counsel to all those living on in the wake of grief. A modern-day counterpart to C. S. Lewis’™s `A Grief Observed`.Published widely for the first time since its original limited release, this revised edition features a special introduction by Max Porter, author of `Grief is A Thing With Feathers`.”Her writing is perfectly weighted, justifies its existence” Guardian
