House of Mourning is the debut poetry collection from poet, rabbi, and hospice chaplain Benjamin Shalva. By turns mournful, meditative, irreverent, and wry, House of Mourning is not only an elegy but a rising. Whether read in solitude, shared in a grief circle, or woven into ritual, these poems meet readers where they are: stunned, searching, laughing, longing, healing.
