I'll hold your hand in my own,\" one ghost says. \"I'll tell you you were good to me.\" Like Dante before her, Stone positions herself as the living poet passing through and observing the land of the dead. She imagines a feminist Limbo where women run the show and create a space to navigate the difficulties endured in life. With a nod to her grandmother Ruth Stone's poem \"The Mobius Strip of Grief,\" Stone creates a labyrinthine underworld as a way to confront and investigate complicated family relationships in the hopes of breaking the never-ending cycle of grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eStone, Bianca:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003e Bianca Stone\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of \u003cem\u003eThe Möbius Strip Club of Grief\u003c\/em\u003e (Tin House, 2018), \u003cem\u003eSomeone Else's Wedding Vows\u003c\/em\u003e (Octopus Books and Tin House, 2014), and \u003cem\u003ePoetry Comics from the Book of Hours\u003c\/em\u003e (Pleiades Press, 2016).
