THIS IS AN EXQUISITE LONGPOEM written in honour of the author's father as well as of many others whose recent deaths have imposed (perhaps even inflicted) a period of loss. Rebounding from the hurt, Beissel reflects on the healing process, which takes the forms of movements in the celebration of the mass.
