Editor's Note:
“Meditations for the Dead and Dying” is a chapbook that explores the brutality of existence, looking at themes of birth, death, and the violence found in life in a thorough undoing of the body. This book is an intense piece of concentrated thought with a consideration of the nature of being a creature in the world."'Meditations for the Dead and Dying' is a brief and dazzling selection of poems that explores the startling chaos of The Body unraveled, revealing its limits and capabilities, its flaws and its power. Gasteiger is the queen of creating jarring juxtapositions; their language is both crushing and delicate, their imagery is ferocious yet beautiful, the brutal deconstruction of bone and blood and flesh makes one’s own corporeality feel claustrophobic, while everyday gore becomes glorious. These visceral poems, vibrating with ‘tender violence’, depict the savagery of human survival and the ‘cruel ecstasy’ of life, and lay bare the damage that we do to ourselves, that which we inflict on others and, ultimately, what our bodies do to us in return."— HLR, author of History of Present Complaint
