Gone Gone

In <i>Gone Gone</i> Todd Meyers reckons with grief in the face of overdose death and with the afterlives of loss created by the opioid crisis. Through conversations with friends lovers and family members of those who are gone Meyers brings readers into an inquiry about lives shared told through tenderness and tragedy. Meyers seeks to find methods to record and convey the many experiences of grief in ways that do not simply consign sorrow to the world of drugs and addiction. Blending prose poetry and ethnography <i>Gone Gone</i> is a lucid and devastating record that reminds readers that the grief felt by those who lose ones they love to overdose is varied and untamable.
