Paul Holdengräber is joined by poet, author, and undertaker Thomas Lynch on episode 110 of the Quarantine Tapes. Thomas speaks with consideration about how this pandemic is altering our experiences of death and grief, drawing from his half a century of experience in funeral home work. Paul and Thomas talk about the role of the community in grief and how the need for social distancing in this pandemic is disrupting that work. Thomas offers both a professional and a personal perspective on grief, poetry, and the importance of being better to each other in coping with this time of monumental loss.<a href="https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-posits-certain-mysteries/">Read “He Posits Certain Mysteries” by Thomas Lynch</a>Credits:Paul Holdengraber - Co-Creator, Host, OLA Director Anthony Audi - Co-Creator, Researcher, OLA Director Alejandro Cohen - Co-Creator, Producer, Composer Christian Pitt - Production Coordinator  Erin Cooney - Copy, Production Dublab Team
