Description:
The comprehensive guide to a deeply human tradition of memory, mourning and consolation
Elegy is among the world's oldest forms of literature. Born in Ancient Greece, practised by the Romans, revitalized by the poets of the Renaissance and continuing down to the present day, it speaks eloquently and affectingly of the experience of loss and the yearning for consolation. It gives shape and meaning to memories too painful to contemplate, and answers our desire to fix in words what would otherwise slip our grasp.
In The Penguin Book of Elegy, Andrew Motion and Stephen Regan trace the history of this tradition, from its Classical roots in the work of Theocritus, Virgil and Ovid down to modern compositions exploring personal tragedy and collective grief by such celebrated voices of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries as Dylan Thomas, Elizabeth Bishop, Terrance Hayes and Alice Oswald.
The only comprehensive anthology of its kind in the English language, The Penguin Book of Elegy is a profound and moving compendium of the fundamentally human urges to remember and honour the dead, and to give comfort to those who survive them.

An Amazing, Powerful, Beloved Book
Format: Kindle
I am biased. I will admit that from the start. I have known Rhea Ewing for many years and they are an excellent and exceptional person through and through and a talented artist.
FINE: A COMIC ABOUT GENDER is a magnificent look at the issues of gender and sexuality. It will be a wonderful gift to anyone who is asking themselves questions about who they are. This book should be in every public library in the country.
Thank you, Rhea, for such a wonderful presentation of reality for many people. I loved it. The book challenged my thinking in many ways and I felt that I grew along the way in reading it.

Thought-provoking and inspiring read
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Excellent, moving, thought-provoking, and hopeful! FINE is an engaging look at gender through interviews and personal stories. The graphic novel format and visual artwork helped me connect more fully with each narrative. Most days, I only get a few minutes before bed to read, and I had a hard time putting this down!

Thought provoking - and fun too
Format: Paperback
While I'm not usually a graphic novel reader, this really grabbed me. Its seriously thought provoking, with the right mix of humor to keep it from being heavy. The illustrations amaze me - I fill in the blanks with my mind so quickly that I feel like I'm looking at the person rather than a drawing. Definitely worth reading, and hanging onto to think about again and again.

Not very impressed
Format: Kindle
I really wanted to like this book. I am very interested in gender identity issues, but after I started to read it I found myself tuning out pretty soon. Honestly, I thought it was boring. Maybe it’s the format - I’d rather talk to a real person and hear their stories!

Thought provoking and warm
Format: Paperback
I heard the author on NPR and it was such a fascinating discussion that I bought the book immediately. I live with a teen in the LGBTQ+ community, and I'm trying to learn as much as I can to support them, and others. I can't wait to let them read it now that I'm finished. The book is a wonderful representation of those across the gender spectrum, providing insight and vulnerability meant to help us all understand a little better and build up our compassion for each other.
