Summary
Winner of the 1994 Devins Award for Poetry, George Bilgere masterfully uses his family history and his own experiences of growing up in the Midwest to confront the inevitability of loss and to find meaning in the face of unremitting change. Although Bilgere treats death or decay in much of the collection, he also presents a sense of hope. Captivating and powerful, The Going is a collection that will not soon be forgotten.
