Grief Flowers Quitab Editions author of Out of theMegan Merchants Grief Flowers exposes with unsettling accuracy what loss would look like if we could subject it to an x ray or place it under a microscope; its irregular divisions, its unforeseen growth, its pain emanating from ever shifting and unpredictable locations.
