Historical and religious mourning rites, and the grief work of John Donne, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Roland Barthes, Emily Dickinson, and Mozart, among others, establish a lyric dialogue around aesthetic representations of grief, invoking a doubleness between the griever and the grieved; a mutuality and interconnectedness that illuminate the role of witness in poetry, mortality, and transcendence. \u003ci\u003eRequiem \u003c\/i\u003eenacts our deepest longing: to honor and immortalize the beloved.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVirginia Konchan \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of five books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eBel Canto, Hallelujah Time, Any God Will Do, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe End of Spectacle\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as a short story collection, \u003ci\u003eAnatomical Gift\u003c\/i\u003e.
