Centred on a sudden accidental death - its shocking actuality, the aftermath, the admin - Kathy Pimlott's third pamphlet is an honest, lyrical and nuanced journey through the complexity of bereavement.As the world around her continues on - moths remain attracted to lights, Christmas comes and goes - Pimlott lives with the irreplaceable absence that follows the loss of a partner. Amid the pain and emotion is a streak of wry humour at the mundanity of settling affairs and a powerfully personal trajectory of moving through grief rather than moving on.Across poems that take stock of the things people leave behind and the sometimes-painful memories of a long and textured marriage, After the rites and sandwiches tracks the rollercoaster of grief, guilt and regret without losing sight of the enduring salve of love.
