Some of Malcolm's own poetry is included, written out of his work as a priest with the dying and the bereaved and giving to the volume a powerful authenticity. </p><p>The choice of forty poems is significant and reflects an ancient practice still observed in some European and Middle Eastern societies of taking extra-special care of a bereaved person in the forty days following a death - our word quarantine come from this. They explore the nature and the risk of love, the pain of letting go and look toward glimpses of resurrection.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'The most wonderful anthology of poetry I have ever come across in my life.'--Methodist Recorder<br>
