Writing Elegies for Dead Men I Didn't Meet

Cathi Rae's Writing Elegies for Dead Men I Didn't Meet explores the
painful but important subject of male suicide in a series of eloquent and
sensitive poems each about a different real case. Drawing only on
information publicly available on social media, these are poems of
respectful distance as well as of imaginative sympathy; and they bear
moving testimony not only to the distinctive experience of each
commemorated individual but also to the tragically powerful social forces
that lead men to suffer in silence rather than share their feelings.
