Poetry helps us express emotional extremes: love, joy, depression, rage, and, yes, grief. Finding poetry that mirrored my emotions was critical for me. I was profoundly grateful to my long-time hair stylist who gave me a hug, said “You talk about whatever you want, only you know how you feel,” and took me back to my dad’s favorite shade of blonde. I struggled with words to express the shock of the loss, the pain I felt for my mother and sister’s grief, the helpless feeling I carried inside me. When my father passed away suddenly in my early 20s, I channelled my grief through gallows humor, baking, and immersing myself in old photo albums and his walk-in closet.
