An exploration of love and loss by the renowned Costa Awardwinning poetYou lived at such speed that the ballpoint scriptrunning aslant and fadingacross the faded bluecan scarcely keep up. Many words are illegible. I missimportant steps. Your movements blur. I want to follow, but cant.A Scattering is a book of lamentation and remembrance, its subject being Christopher Reids wife, the actress Lucinda Gane, who died of cancer at the age of fiftyfive. First published in the UK in 2009 to wide acclaim, winning the Costa Book of the Year, this moving and fiercely selfreflective collection is divided into four poetic sequences. The first was written during a holiday a few months before Ganes death with the knowledge that the end was approaching; the second recalls her last courageous weeks, spent in a hospice in London; the third continues the exploration of bereavement from a variety of perspectives; and the fourth addresses her directly, celebrating her life, personality, and achievements.Paired for the first time with Anniversary, which was written to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Ganes death, A Scattering and Anniversary brings the poet into dialogue, again, with the wife he loved. A moving exploration of the stages of grief and how the weighty emptinesses that remain after bereavement change us, A Scattering and Anniversary shows us what it means to love, lose, andforever changedcontinue on.
