About This Item
W. W. Norton & Company. Softcover. Very Good. Bodies in Motion and at Rest: On Metaphor and Mortality by Thomas Lynch (ISBN: 9780393321647): Thomas Lynch, both an undertaker and a poet, explores the intersection of life and death in "Bodies in Motion and at Rest." This collection of essays reflects on his experiences as a funeral director and writer, offering profound insights into the nature of mortality. Lynch delves into the rituals, ceremonies, and emotions associated with death, offering a unique perspective on the human condition. He contemplates themes of grief, love, loss, and the ways in which language and metaphor shape our understanding of death. Lynch's eloquent prose and thoughtful reflections make this book a profound exploration of life's final journey and the human quest for meaning. Crisp, clean, unread book with some shelfwear/edgewear. May have remainder marks, often with a black dot or similar mark, to the top or bottom edge of the book.
