When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?
Faced with the death of someone I love, I always seem to turn to Dylan Thomas’ “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.” The repetition of the word rage echoes my own; and in a way, the poem gives me a sense of control (albeit a false one) in a situation where I have, quite literally, no control—I suppose the poem renews my desire for an impossible outcome.
