A wry and compassionate selection of essays reflecting on mortals and mortality, from the acclaimed author of The Undertaking.For nearly four decades, poet, essayist, and smalltown funeral director Thomas Lynch has probed relations between the literary and mortuary arts. His lifes work with the dead and the bereaved has informed four previous collections of nonfiction, each exploring identity and humanity with Lynchs signature blend of memoir, meditation, gallows humor, and poetic precision.The Depositions provides an essential selection from these masterful collectionsessays on fatherhood, Irish heritage, funeral rites, and the perils of bodiless obsequiesas well as new essays in which the space between Lynchs hyphenated identitiesas an Irish American, undertakerpoetis narrowed by the deaths of poets, the funerals of friends, the loss of neighbors, intimate estrangements, and the slow demise of a beloved dog.In Gladstone, from The Undertaking, Lynch reflects on his then twentyfive years as an undertaker at the Midwinter Conference for Michigan funeral directors, which incongruously takes place on an island in the Caribbean. With brutal, generous honesty, The Way We Are, from Bodies in Motion and at Rest, grapples with Lynchs time as a single parent coming to terms with generations of his family inheritance of alcoholism and recovery. The press of the authors own mortality animates the new essays, sharpening a curiosity about where we come from, where we go, and what it means.As Alan Ball writes in a penetrating foreword, Lynchs work allows us to see both the absurdity and the beauty of death, sometimes simultaneously. With this landmark collection, he continues to illuminate not only how we die, but also how we live.
