Bough Down by Karen Green — on the death of David Foster Wallace | BOOK REVIEW

My favourite elegy to date — it's hard to discuss grief and mourning, but it can be helpful to a lot of readers. Bough Down is a fantastic raw and sincere poem documenting the slow passing of grief, in this case, on the death of David Foster Wallace. Karen Green is currently my favourite living poet and deserves more recognition for redefining expression and structure in contemporary poetry.
