| book description |

In her first poetry collection in more than a decade, celebrated novelist and poet Lynn Crosbie creates a sustained and confessional record of her fatherâ€™s illness. The Corpses of the Future is a sustained, confessional new collection of poems by Lynn Crosbie. It tells the story of her fatherâ€™s battle with frontotemporal dementia and blindness following a stroke. The poems chronologically recount the poetâ€™s conversations and time with her father and capture his still-astonishing means of communicating. The bookâ€™s title is his sardonic remark. Crosbie considers dementia to be a symbolic language, and as such similar to poetry. The authorâ€™s attempts to understand her fatherâ€™s distress, pain, fear, and brave love are assisted by her understanding of the â€œnegative capabilityâ€ required of readers of poetry. This is a harrowing book, with moments of joy and even levity. It is a collection of poetry about love, and loveâ€™s persistence, even under the most unspeakable circumstances.
