Historical and religious mourning rites, and the grief work of John Donne, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Roland Barthes, Emily Dickinson, and Mozart, among others, establish a lyric dialogue around aesthetic representations of grief, invoking a doubleness between the griever and the grieved; a mutuality and interconnectedness that illuminate the role of witness in poetry, mortality, and transcendence. \u003ci\u003eRequiem \u003c\/i\u003eenacts our deepest longing: to honor and immortalize the beloved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Konchan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0887487092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780887487095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carnegie-Mellon University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Virginia Konchan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46465678442751,"sku":"9780887487095","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fc6abcc2-0cd9-4b68-8143-ca8597e6e7d9.jpg?v=1736346962","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/requiem-virginia-konchan-9780887487095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
