“An elegy in literature begins with mourning someone or something that is lost to us or disappearing as we write. Its job is to build a likeness – an effigy – out of words, as it moves to the hard work of letting go.” – Susan Hand Shetterly from “When Winter Came” in Phi Kappa Phi Forum, Winter 2023.
