After the sudden death of his father, the poet Kevin Young looked for a collection of poems that might speak to his sense of loss. To his surprise, he couldn't find such a collection, so he went to work compiling one. "The Art of Losing: Poems of Grief and Healing". Young speaking on NPR shares, "[Poetry]is able to capture a moment, a feeling, perhaps a fleeting feeling, and even make .... music out of it." This piece includes samples of the timeless poems from his collection.
