As The New York Times said, likely to resonate with many who have come face to face with life's most important questions.Thomas Lynch-like Wallace Stevens and William Carlos Williams-is a poet who writes about real things with language rooted in the everyday yet masterfully infused with power: I have steady work, a circle of friends and lunch on Thursdays with the Rotary.

Notably, when folks get horizontal, breathless, still: life in Milford ends. They call. I send a car.Thomas Lynch spent his career as an undertaker in Midwest America-and in his off-hours became a writer of exceptional insight.
