This Cathedral Grief

This Cathedral Grief responds to the death of Adrian Caesar’s sister, Karen, from pancreatic cancer in 2012-13. This book explores various dimensions of faith—secular, artistic and spiritual—in an attempt to wrest meaning from the blank of loss. Without supporting any single position or belief, these poems are provisional statements, charting the impossibility of celebrating or memorialising someone successfully, much less recovering that person through language.

Adrian Caesar

I see you stand with your back to me
at the French window as you did last March
looking at early flowers
crimson and yellow, pansy and primrose,
peeping from their crust of snow
