Synopsis "The Depositions: New and Selected Essays on Being and Ceasing to be "

For nearly four decades, poet, essayist, and small-town funeral director Thomas Lynch has probed relations between the literary and mortuary arts with a signature blend of memoir, meditation, gallows humor, and poetic precision. The Depositions offers a wry and compassionate selection from Lynch's four previous collections of nonfiction, along with new essays shaped by the press of the author's own mortality.
