In the absence of any indoctrination around ritualizing death, Gottlieb was drawn to memorialize her experiences of the past through poems, including \"my dog teaches me things,\" about the final lessons learned from her best friend, a chihuahua. What shines through in every poem is the exceptional moments that create love, how we survive the heartbreak of profound loss, and what we get to keep and carry with us always.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaphne Gottlieb\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of 11 books, including poetry books \u003ci\u003eWhy Things Burn\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFinal Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKissing Dead Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003e15 Ways to Stay Alive\u003c\/i\u003e.
