Reviews

Readers will have different experiences of grief, this island of unwilling visitors, but this book, with its honest depictions of one woman's journey, offers a thoughtful view of how it feels, tastes, and hurts, and the struggle to move forward to a new space, a new life

--Mandana Chaffa "Rain Taxi"

Written in a series of essays and poems, Grief's Country: A Memoir in Pieces (Wayne State University Press, 2020) by Gail Griffin examines grief like a sculptor labors, working from a rough cut of life to give shape to the core within. The boo's success as a grief memoir is based in the immediate portrayal of her experience.

--Whitney (Walters) Jacobson "Split Rock Review"
