We The Mourners

Title: We the Mourners, poetry

We the Mourners is a mystical, mindful, meditative long-poem ode to the ever-shifting, ever-swaying collective that holds vigil for human suffering. Radically reflective and hope-fully enlightened, We the Mourners generates poetic paths that negotiate the spiritual and corporeal paradoxes of life and death. Embracing politics, money, morality, relationships, nature, science, technology, sexuality, sensuality and spirituality as divine components of our most critical human desire to love and be loved, this poetic propulsion dares us to find the mourner within, and cultivate an ability to contemplate our relationship with suffering. We the Mourners offers an alternative to our deepest, darkest pain by honouring the power of letting it go – and mourning our suffering together.
