[Sophie] Hannah does test the assumed natural order of the afterlife. Her deceased speaker is lively, which is perhaps not surprising for a poet who consistently resists emotional expectations, and who insisted that, "The end of love should be a big event./It should involve the hiring of a hall./Why the hell not? It happens to us all." Out of This World
