Non-Fiction Memoir
A deeply resonant New York Times Bestselling memoir for
anyone who has loved and lost, from acclaimed poet and
Pulitzer Prize finalist Elizabeth Alexander. In THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, Elizabeth Alexander finds herself
at an existential crossroads after the sudden death of her
husband. Channeling her poetic sensibilities into a rich, lucid
price, Alexander tells a love story that is, itself, a story
of loss. As she reflects on the beauty of her married life,
the trauma resulting from her husband's death, and the
solace found in caring for her two teenage sons, Alexander
universalizes a very personal quest for meaning and
acceptance in the wake of loss. THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD is at once an endlessly compelling
memoir and a deeply felt meditation on the blessings of
love, family, art, and community. It is also a lyrical
celebration of a life well-lived and a paean to the
priceless gift of human companionship. For those who have loved and lost, or for anyone who cares
what matters most, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD is required reading.
