Krátky popis
A profound exploration of the connection between poetry and
suicide. ‘Suicides have a special language’, Anne Sexton wrote in
her 1964 poem ‘Wanting to Die’. But is it a language we can learn
to read?In The poetry of suicide, J.T. Welsch interweaves stories
of poets who took their own lives with the long history of suicide
in his own family, searching for a new way of understanding these
difficult deaths. Beginning with Hamlet’s ‘To be or not to be?’, he
delves into the work of Dante, Sylvia Plath, Vladimir Mayakovsky
and others, asking what it can teach us about suicide’s messy
reality.Suicide is more like poetry than we realise, Welsch argues.
Both are filled with ambiguities, contradictions and unknowable
intentions. Both demand and resist interpretation.Recovering the
personal dimension often lost in our medicalised public discourse,
Welsch finds practical ways of confronting suicide’s poem-like
difficulties. -- .
