Description

Some Bodies in the Grief Bed is Rick Benjamin's latest attempt to find the intersection of the human and the non-human in the context of this earth's ecology. A poem about migrations butterflies and others make might be followed by another appearing in the life of a family; and this poet is always trying to face down the distinction between them. At the same time, he is deeply interested in every detail of either: giraffe's eating an Acacia's topmost leaves and pods; the way the sound of percussive roofs in rain bring up memories a boy might have thought he'd buried. These are offered as equal parts of one book, planets orbiting around the same sun. As the title suggests, Some Bodies in the Grief Bed evolves around loss, but also those moments of ecstasy and joy that are attached to them. As Martín suggests, such grief is also and always just another opportunity to praise everything and everyone we've been lucky enough to hold and have in this world without keeping. This book reminds us both to hold each moment and to be more mindful of what it's made (out) of- the organic, impermanent nature of our "passing love" (Langston Hughes) on this planet.

About the Author
Benjamin, Rick: - "Rick Benjamin lives on Chumash land in Goleta, California, and tries to remind himself of that fact that each day as he walks ancient trails near his house. Currently teaching a range of courses at the University of California Santa Barbara, ranging from poetry and community, the wild literature of ecology, and the literatures of both social and juvenile justice, he also finds himself working among elders, with middle-school students at a local Boys and Girls Club, in art museums and in youth detention facilities. Among his works are the books of poetry, Passing Love, Floating World, and Endless Distances. Rick lives with his partner of many years, Margaret Klawunn, and mostly in reach of their twin sons, and daughter. He served as the Poet Laureate of Rhode Island from 2012 - 2016."
