Abstract
No Night So Dark is a lyric elegy that confronts grief, addiction, and the struggle to endure after loss. Moving between Midwestern landscapes and New York City, these poems strive for survival, a love for the dead that becomes living prayer, and a new appreciation for the body, the flesh, and the people we still have left.
