News at Eleven: Grief, after all, is one of the most

isolating feelings a person can experience. Through reading "Elegy," readers will not discover solutions to their emotions or to [Mary Jo] Bang's grief, but they will find company in it. They can find solace in her honesty.

After that one year, Bang immediately began writing something else. This collection of poems, "The Bride of E," will be released Sept. 29. These poems explore a contrast between high and low culture. She wrote each of them through the lens of an invented character, rather than through her own eyes and her own emotions.
