In my anthropology class our special topic for the final project is death. And in that, of course, we have heavily discussed grief.
This woman, so lovely and lively and living with cancer. She has known loss time and time again. Of people, and passions, and places, and things. She has gone into detail about personal stories, and some of my peers have shared as well. It’s such an interesting environment because there’s 100-some of us in a huge lecture hall but it feels like a tiny and intimate conversation, talking about death. I sit next to my best friend near the front, both of us fighting tears as we hear the stories of others. Loss from years ago, loss that stung just weeks before. A sad topic, yes, but an important one. We talk about death in other cultures and how some see it as a celebration of life. Here, in North America, it is seen as a failure. It is almost taboo. We don’t discuss the “correct” way to grieve. Maybe there isn’t one, it feels different for everyone. But she tells us that it won’t go away. Not to frighten us, but to remind us what it means. To grieve is to have loved.
She says that you won’t have to carry grief forever, but you won’t ever let it go. Eventually, like a toddler, it grows some legs and learns to walk by your side. You will hold onto its hand and feel it forever but you won’t have to carry it on your shoulders.

The Wedding Poem and Other Poems
By James Croal Jackson
The Wedding Poem
I was asked to write a poem
to read at your wedding.
I have been writing for weeks.
I don’t know what I’m trying to do
but I know it’s something new.
Mostly the poem has become my life.
Mostly it’s a poem of longing
for what the poem in me longs for.
Mostly it is a poem of the fight between desire
and desire.
Mostly it is a poem of desire
from the poem’s…
