Some Things I Do Not Know

Some Things I Do Not Know is a luminous work of mourning, written after the loss of the author's best friend to suicide. These poems work their magic in the tension between knowing and not knowing, and in the grief of things unsaid. Allen explores with fearless honesty the ways in which we carry love and absence forward - into the afterlife and back again. This collection offers both solace and challenge, constituting a personal and open ritual for how to live on with what we have lost.
