A revolutionary poet who spurned the pedestrian and pedantic poetry equally, a brilliant critic and a scholar of Sanskrit, this versatile poet has breathed a new vision of modernity to his vernacular ...

A friend in India sent me this about the Kashi Labh guest house in Varanasi, the place people go to die. I was curious about the journalist so here's the back story too.

This was my first time hosting and no one showed up! It was held in a town/area of lots of retirees. It was well advertised, but there I was with cookies. I didn't despair, actually thought it funny. Perhaps I'll try again one day. The others I've hosted in the area have been wonderful!

Attending one of the Capital Region’s only roaming cafes comes with a few conditions: keep an open mind and feel free to discuss death. At least that’s the case with Death Cafe Albany. “My friends say ‘You need to change the name’ I say ‘That’s the point ...

Well that was great! We weren't sure that a Virtual Death Cafe would fly, but fly it did. Thanks so much to everyone who showed up for our first Virtual Death Cafe. I’m sure we could have talked into the wee hours of the morning. We will do it again soon.

For January’s Death Café Iowa we met at Palmers Deli & Market on Ingersoll. Buffy Peters and Becca Suvalsky (members of the Young Bereavement Professionals Group) facilitated the group. We had 11 people in attendance, 3 men and 8 women, and participants ranged in ages and professions. We had several new group members in attendance this month. Several interesting topics were brought forward for discussion during this month’s death café. Topics included the choice to stop eating at the end of life, the movie “Just Mercy”, and how members might feel if they knew they knew they were going to die in the next 10 minutes. We ...

It was a cosy afternoon for our first Death Cafe. Four of us sat around the dining table and discussed death and dying. Two people had lost parents when younger so the subject of needing to get our affairs in place came up amongst those with children. Time passed easily and the 2 hours flew by. Overall we all came away feeling like we’d shared something special.
