Kelly Grogan, This Tiny Enormous Life, nonfiction by TahomaLiterary

Grief makes everything small seem suddenly enormous. What started out as a simple essay about the loss of my cat quickly turned into something tangled and immense, and it took me more than a year to wrap my arms around everything that emerged. In hindsight, I see that’s because this is more than an essay about grief—it’s the process of grieving itself, laid bare. Not only grieving the absences that pocket our hearts with holes, but the isolated grief of our willful separation from the wider, wilder world we are intimately connected to.

Kelly Grogan writes fiction and nonfiction, teaches creative writing, and loves running around in the mountains of Santa Barbara where she lives with her husband and two neurotic dogs.
